NEW TOWN QUARTER INCHES FORWARD
Broughton's beloved Loch Eyre could soon be consigned to memory as work on the New Town Quarter inches closer to starting.
Developer Ediston's Ross McNulty tells us: ''We are in advanced negotiations with contractors to build the private for sale residential blocks opposite Royal Crescent and Fettes Row.
'It is anticipated we will be in a position to confirm the contractor in May this year with a view to starting on site in the summer. We recognise it has been a long wait, and look forward to seeing real site activity taking place soon.
AH, EDINBURGH'S SPRING …
… and the promise of better days to come.

ROUGH GRAZING COULD MAKE CAPITAL RETURN
Rough grazing will return to the capital’s upland slopes if plans by an Edinburgh goat breeder get the go-ahead.
Elizabeth Massingberd (85) tends a flock of 12 Baljuvan Mountain Goats at her townhouse on Regent Terrace. She keeps another flock of 250 on family-owned moors above Balerno.
Her proposal is to release the two ‘clans’ across parts of the city centre.
