Shorter hours for proposed Holy Corner pub over noise fears
Signature Pubs, led by director Nic Wood, above, is transforming the old Bank of Scotland at Holy Corner in Morningside into a 300-capacity restaurant, bar and event space.
The company had applied to the Edinburgh Licensing Board for a 1am licence – but councillors only allowed it to open from 11am until midnight, seven days a week.

Hide AdCaroline Loudon, representing the company, said she couldn’t accept an initial 11pm closing time proposal put forward by Cllr Nick Cook.
She said: “It’s a restaurant and bar with outdoor seating. We are a tried and tested operator.
“They are terribly restrictive hours that makes investment very tricky.”
