A judge rules that an Irish Traveller family living on a site at Waterfront Avenue in Edinburgh can be evicted. The family includes a couple and their 11 children, and the court finds they have no right or entitlement to occupy the area.
The eviction relates to plans for a new development described as a £100m home for Scotland’s national art collections. The reporting focuses on the court’s decision and the immediate implications for the family’s right to remain on the land, while also noting the intended use of the site for the art-collections project. The available coverage centers on legal findings and the location of the site, with attention on how the ruling affects the family’s housing situation as redevelopment proceeds.
