And finally… Architects take April Fool’s to new heights with Edinburgh Castle gondola
Reading time: 1 minute
Edinburgh architecture practice ISA pitched its idea to reduce congestion in the capital yesterday with a plan for an urban aerial transport link.
Under the proposals, tellingly unveiled on April 1, the Apex Grasshopper would stretch from the Apex Hotels group’s Grassmarket property straight into Edinburgh Castle’s Esplanade at the top of the Royal Mile.
Eight four-person gondolas make the 200 meter round journey from the roof of the Apex Grassmarket Hotel to the World Heritage Site and back again in under ten minutes.
ISA promised the new transport system would help ease congestion and allow visitors with only a short time in the city to make the most of their stay.
