A replacement for the 81-year-old Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens will be part-bankrolled by property mogul Norman Springford.
Edinburgh may soon have a new outdoor concert venue after city councillors agreed to partner with property tycoon Norman Springford to push for a replacement for the ageing Ross Bandstand.
City of Edinburgh Council leader Andrew Burns says that while the 2,000-capacity Ross Bandstand (or Theatre), which was built in 1935 and stands in Princes Street Gardens, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, "remains a key venue for the city's famous festival fireworks and Hogmanay concert, it is more than 80 years old and is nearing the end of its useful life."
