Edinburgh World Heritage

Edinburgh World Heritage has appointed Megan Veronesi as interim director.  She steps into the role previously held by Christina Sinclair, who leaves the organisation after four years as director.

A robust management plan to continue to protect the Outstanding Universal Value of the Old and New Towns World Heritage Site in the Capital will be considered for approval by the City of Edinburgh Council’s Planning Committee next Wednesday.

Residents in the Canongate area of Edinburgh's Old Town will benefit from a range of conservation and energy efficiency improvements on track to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by over 50%.

Edinburgh World Heritage is asking local people to help identify neighbourhoods and individual buildings in or near the World Heritage Site that need attention.

Edinburgh World Heritage has completed major conservation work on the last of three historic tenements on the Canongate comprising of 16 residential dwellings and five shops.
