<description><![CDATA[Perhaps Charlie S should do some research first before commenting. It would be pretty difficult  for the old Palace Hotel to be on the corner of Frederick Street and the corner of Castle Street at the same time!!! The building which houses USC is a Georgian house altered and extended over the years. The modern office block which replaced the old Palace Hotel is on the corner of Princes/Castle Street.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[it is absolutley astounding that so many buildings have been destroyed in this city and the coucil have been party to it over the years, the power of the broon envelope.  I hope they are proud when it is all done and there is nothing left but false looking poorly constructed new buildings dotted at every corner.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So the St James Centre has become a notorious eyesore - wrong, it always was. Who says the replacement will be any better? The cooncil (always been good at that), the developers (surprise there) - anyone else? Still, if they get it wrong it can be knocked down in 40 years or so.

There seems an unspoken assumption that visual botches of the past can't be repeated. I can give three examples of modern buildings which are not acceptable in Edinburgh's unique cityscape - cooncil HQ by the station, replacement for LRC slab in George IV Bridge (no better than its predecessor), the U of Ed's new slab in Crichton St.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Love the Nostalgia stuff   BUT
"Along Princes Street, the shops on the corner of Frederick Street, where the USC clothes store stands today, was the scene of another major demolition.

The Palace Hotel which stood there had to be torn down following a huge fire in June 1991 which destroyed the seven-storey building." 

The Fire Was at the corner of 113 - 117  Princes Street & Castle Street Try doing some research first
