Demolition has begun at the former site of the Scottish and Newcastle brewery in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh.

The demolition will make room for a proposed redevelopment of the area by Grosvenor worth £200 million, a third of which will be given over to open spaces such as park areas and walkways.

John Irvine, director of Grosvenor, said: "Our detailed planning application is a logical first step in the wider design process and sets the standards for the entire redevelopment of the Fountainbridge area."
