Centre stage

An ageing bandstand that sits in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle is set to be transformed into a contemporary venue for cultural events. The design for a new pavilion and visitor centre to replace the 1930s Ross Bandstand in West Princes Street Gardens will be chosen from entries to an architectural competition organised by Malcolm Reading Consultants. The project is being managed by the Ross Development Trust working in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council. malcolmreading.co.uk
