a bit more detail would have been nice. is it real snow? is it fake? what did they use if it is fake? can’t help wondering how it affects the plants

it is magical, but why are we such suckers for snow ? I wish I could’ve been there right in the middle.

I agree it’s magical, but what about more detail, what does this stuff look like close up ? what is it made from ? what was the clear up time ? environmental impact etc…

Looks great and reminds me of “The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe”! An amazing concept, and wish I could have been there.

If the UK fails to meet their carbon dioxide emission reductions goals, we’ll know who to blame. This is a foolish project.

boohoo boohooo…. aye, it’ll be this wee project that caused it. get real. there’s a petrochemical plant about 15 minutes away from bonnington house – i’d hazard a guess that it is just a bit worse than this.

Sums up Edinburgh really, can always have a chilly feel to it. Neat idea.

why is it that when ever I look at these pages there is some nimby (J’s comment) who seems to have nothing better to do than be critical of another’s project, this piece has all the poetry and pathos that j’s comment lacks, get out more.

James weaver is right, what a crazy comment J’s is,
it is beautiful;
it only takes a moment to be lost in a dream.
