St James Centre Demolition, Edinburgh

            With the recent opening of the new St James Quarter on the same site I thought I’d post a few pictures of the demolition of the previous centre as well as the construction of the new.  This has been a five year project, interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and is still not fully complete, although the shopping centre is now open to the public.

In this view most of the shopping centre has been demolished leaving a clear view of the New St Andrew's House office block which had previously been mainly obscured.
