В Эдинбурге продают парковочное место за 40 тысяч фунтов стерлингов

Fancy a private parking spot in Edinburgh’s Old Town? Be prepared to pay a five-figure sum. Offers begin at an eye-watering £40,000 for an “rarely available car parking space” in the heart of the capital’s bustling tourist district. The space is located to the rear of Robertson’s Close, near to South Bridge in the “iconic Old Town”. A listing for the space reads: “All just moments from the bustling city centre, the space offers off-street parking with bollard security. “Within the immediate vicinity there are first-class amenities to meet day-to-day needs including a wide range of shops, banks, supermarkets, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and bars. “A number of major tourist attractions including Canongate Kirk, Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Scottish Parliament, Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh Castle and the summit of Calton Hill are all close by. “Regular bus services run outside the property for the city centre and beyond,” the listing goes on to state. “Edinburgh Waverley Station and the tram system are both a short walk away for access across Edinburgh and to Edinburgh International Airport. The City Bypass is also readily accessible for access to the Scottish motorway network.” Read more: - 'It's hard work': Meet the unsung heroes behind Edinburgh festivals' seismic success - 'I thought I found a finger': Cult compound turned summer camp inspires Fringe debut - 'Cleansed and hollowed out': Edinburgh's Old Town faces losing its community council Of course, you might fancy a single-car garage instead. A garage on Salisbury Road in Newington will set you back more than £40,000, while a garage on Buckstone Circle in Fairmilehead will cost at least £35,000. However, there are some bargains on the market — a garage on Cairns Drive in Balerno is listed at £19,950.
