Implosion hat-trick in Edinburgh…

Coleman & Co. score high-rise hat-trick in Edinburgh.

Three tower blocks have been demolished in Edinburgh, with a controlled explosion, to make way for new housing. Schoolboy Robert Millar, 11, pushed the button which brought down Garvald, Soutra and Fala Courts in the Gracemount area of south Edinburgh.

The multi-storey blocks have been demolished so that redevelopment in the area can take place. Up to 220 new modern homes which better suit the needs of the community will be built in their place.
