MMHearts Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Looks like you can see the castle from the Skyline Lounge after all. Red neck for quite a few posters on here and H**s.net.

martoon Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Is the view of the castle served with chips? The above always has them rolling in the aisles over on .nut. I don't get it either. I know why I laugh at Hibs with their imaginary triumphs, floodlights, flair, beep beep...but what are they mindless hyenas laughing at?

Ray Gin Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The castle is visible - just - from one corner of the lounge. Anywhere else and you just see the school roof. We've known this since before the stand opened. Quite a balls up from the architect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coburg Hearts Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 "The hugely successful evening then culminated on the roof terrace where the spectacular fireworks display above Edinburgh Castle formed the backdrop." I think that's your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I can see the castle perfectly well from Princes Street. More importantly is the new lounge a great day out. The concept is great, any update on what we can expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been in it so don't know the layout, but according to the text in the Hearts site, the evening culminated on the Roof Terrace where the fireworks display formed the back-drop.

You wonder how much thought went into how the spaces would be used and that’s true of the concourse area and toilets too.

You can check my history on this stuff, if you like. I love the people running the club, an anti-i8 if you will. Still the the original mock-ups of the skyline lounge (which I can’t find online anymore) were all amazing views, trendy decor and red brick columns. The real thing is a bit meh - like the business lounge in a 4 star hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ask a question which is easy to answer ...can you see the castle from the Skyline lounge ?..Answer Yes They then go on and on about not seeing it from every spot in the lounge ignoring the facts It really is just that sad. I'd love to visit their homes and do a critique about their sea views, views over the park , Arthurs seat in the distance local schools within a mile...well at least within 3 miles when challenged and for what reason for all it does is damage a club they claim to support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
