Hasn't the centre got to be filled one way or another soon anyway as business rates are payable regardless if it's let soon ? , Can see a lot of these landlords going bust. It's also why I guess there's a lot of action with empty units in the town just being let.
Scope, the old Tom's burgers , the old mad hatters tea place, the old oatcakes and milkshake, fone junction, accessorize and the old Edinburgh Woollen Mill have all sprung to life recently.
I'd say the Guildhall is heading for a full on repossession now as the rates cripple the place, unless the owners have a money pit.
