Plans for a 5G mast at an iconic Edinburgh Castle viewpoint scrapped following backlash
Plans for a 5G mast that campaigners said would damage an iconic view of Edinburgh Castle have been scrapped. The proposed 56ft (17m) structure would have stood on Johnston Terrace, which passes below the castle. It is a popular place for visitors to capture the view looking up at the famous landmark. Objectors pointed out that it was unacceptable to erect the 5G (5th generation mobile network) mast where it would have such a detrimental impact. Historic Environment Scotland, which manages Edinburgh Castle, had also said it had not been consulted about the plans.
