Historic cinema
The Cameo is different from the multiplexes in the city and the council should think carefully before signing away a historical cinema, which many people enjoy, so that the main, architecturally interesting, 200-seat auditorium can be ripped apart to form a restaurant and bar.
The council has the last word. Let's hope it uses it wisely.

Hide AdThe Cameo is not only Edinburgh's oldest cinema; it is one of the three oldest in Scotland, and also the only one of those with anything like its original interior intact. Perhaps Historic Scotland could consider spot-listing it to help ensure that it is preserved intact.
