Demolition of homes damaged in gas explosion begins

Homes that were seriously damaged in a gas explosion in Edinburgh are finally being demolished more than a year later.

The blast on Baberton Mains Avenue in December 2023 killed James Smith, 84, and a man and a woman were taken to hospital.

Residents have been frustrated in the aftermath over how long it has taken to demolish the properties.

New houses will be built in their place.
