Yeah/No/Maybe
Depends where you're buying. Leithe [esp Shore area] become quite trendy. It's fully gentrified so I'm not totally surprised at the price - even though I think it's too much. I bought a 4 bed house with 2 gardens and 3 sheds, a few years ago - £315,000

Yes but it's length. Needs to be 15m wide at the least. I haven't looked at the dimensions.

Towards the end of the Interview With The Vampire series I got a little bored & frustrated with. It started off great then .... just petered out.

"ah Louis, still whining after all these years"

This though, this does look great.

I think Edinburgh Live need to lay off the ChatGPT.

"Manhattan Loft Vibe"? That's trafalgar lane. lol.

Also the current owners have terrible taste in nearly everything.

Plush Edinburgh penthouse hits market with offering 'Manhattan loft' vibes

The property contains four bedrooms as well as four bathrooms, three of which are en-suite - meaning there would never be a wait to get ready in the morning.

Connie Willis’s novella Remake covered this in 1996. In it Hollywood executives edit out whatever’s driving the latest moral panic (beer, cigs) while editing in the young women they’re preying on to star in classic movies. The only untouchable films are those tied up in copyright lawsuits.

The other thing to consider is how many of these areas are food growing areas.

Here's an interesting point.

A Level English wasn't even available to me.
And it still isn't to most kids in Scotland.

Break out the flegs, it's English default English.

Same day the Guardian is leading with an article that suggests some town may need to be abandoned because they are uninsurable.

This government is completely captured by vested interests.
