The continuing controversy over a plan to develop a luxury
hotel in Edinburgh and its impact on the city's world heritage status rumbles
on, although The National newspaper has noted that, even if the plan is
approved, it will be “some time” before Edinburgh is considered for removal
from the world heritage list.
While the depth of feeling being generated by the
controversy is a testament to the importance of a heritage designation in the
eyes of the public, it also illustrates the fine line that separate politics
from the technical process of determining whether a given world heritage site
is in danger or should be de-listed altogether.
