Historic Edinburgh Gem Restored

0:00A historic gem in Edinburgh just got a major glow-up. The Great Hall inside the new Craig Building and Craig Lockhart has been fully restored by developers at Q-Mile Group. This Category A listed space with its barrel vaulted ceiling, tall clare-story windows, oak paneling, and fancy pilasters now shines like it did back in its prime. Built in 1894 by Architect Sidney Mitchell, the building sat on a 52-Ager Krayhouse estate in Morningside. It started as part of Craighouse Hospital, then became a hub for Edinburgh Napier University events like lectures and weddings until they sold it in 2013. Q-Mile CEO Paul Kern calls it a privilege to bring back this stunning interior while adding modern comforts. He says expert crafts people kept every bit of its historic vibe intact, making it perfect for today's residents. This fits into one of Scotland's biggest heritage projects, turning the estate into luxury living with 144 homes apartments, duplexes, pinhouses, and townhouses.
