| Comment | I absolutely agree that high street has been neglected, but I don’t think it should be overly catered to tourists. I work in Edinburgh now and I really miss the way Glasgow feels like a living, breathing, working city. Edinburgh city centre feels like Disneyland Scotland. Take a walk down princes street or the royal mile and you’ll see loads of tacky tourist shops selling cheap tat. There aren’t really many nice independent shops or cafes on the royal mile at all anymore. Most residents avoid the royal mile like the plague. That’s not how a city should be. It should be a space for both tourists and residents, with residents prioritised. |
