## Resource

A historic fire has devastated the iconic B-listed Debenhams building on Princes Street — a cultural landmark and part of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site. Experts warn this is a wake-up call: with over 75% of the area’s buildings listed, fire poses a serious threat to our heritage. Authorities are urgently investigating the cause and pushing for restoration — ideally preserving the original facade using traditional methods — while launching a new report to safeguard the future of this cherished, architecturally rich shopping street.
