Royal Edinburgh Tattoo's producer and outgoing
director, David Allfrey, said a 25£ million West Princes Street Gardens
transformation was needed to keep the city on top destination in the world for
events that could be presented in the unique context of Edinburgh Castle.
Brigadier David Allfrey said, he wanted to stay
involved in the city's tourism and event industry when he left the Edinburgh
Tattoo next fall, announced the design of the new event pavilion. Event Fans

from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.
The amphitheater and the visitor center, to replace
Ross's current bandstand, the bowl was authentic and friendly. He insisted that
the park, which has hosted events since it became public property in the 1870s,
should be a place of excitement, energy, and power as well as inspection.
More than two years have gone into developing
comprehensive plans for the Quaich project, as a US-led group won an
international design competition organized by the Ross Development Trust,
created by Norman Spring ford, founder Apex Hotels.
They contain a Hobbit-style home replacement for the
current music kiosk, which dates back to 1935, an outdoor arena capable of
serving about 6,000 people, and a visitor center and two-story, Tattoo.
The pavilion, which, according to the trust, will be
designed to "fit harmoniously" into the surrounding landscape, will
have a glass screen to allow the holding of intimate events sheltered from the
weather, which can accommodate up to 200 people, as well as behind-the-scenes
facilities, rooms, a cloakroom and a Tattoo tickets office.
Heritage community groups and organizations have
expressed fears that the planned restructuring of the gardens would lead to an
increase in the number of events taking place, more "commercialism"
of the park, and greater restrictions on public access if the Quaich project turns
up.
David Allfrey said, "It would be a shame that
there are no more events in the gardens in the future - it's one of the world's
art capitals. Princes Street Gardens is a place to play."
He advised Edinburgh to follow other international
cities and to confirm that major events can be organized quickly and returned
to standard as soon as possible in Princes Street Gardens.
Allfrey added: "I do not think a refresh of
Ross's bandstand, which is what the Quaich project is will upset the way
gardens are appreciated."
A new plan, developed by architects based in New York
and Los Angeles, aims to ensure that gardens are perceived as "equal"
with famous international parks such as High Line and Singapore's Gardens by
the Bay.
The plans are supposed to respect the "cultural
and historical significance" of the gardens while ensuring that they
remain "a place of tranquility that everyone can enjoy amid the hustle and
bustle of the city center".
The promoters involved in developing plans for West
Princes Street Gardens include DF Concerts, Underbelly, Regular Music and Unique
Events. Other people consulted included community groups, Edinburgh World
Heritage, the Cockburn Association and Historic Environment Scotland.
David Allfrey said, "You have to have a balance
between silent contemplation and emotion in the gardens, you can’t just
contemplate - you need to have energy and electricity, we just need to find the
right balance."
Allfrey will retire from the Edinburgh Tattoo after
his 70th edition, which will celebrate the Year of the Coastlines and Waters in
Scotland, and present a major showcase for the Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets will go
on sale Monday, from £ 25.
