Scotland’s Theatres: Saved, Shut, or Lost | Glasgow News
from Glasgow News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Leith Theatre in Edinburgh has been officially removed from the “at risk” register after securing £4.5 million in lottery funding for renovations — part of a £10 million plan to revive the historic venue, with architects from Paisley Town Hall leading the charge. Meanwhile, Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre, and the Brunton in Musselburgh, face demolition due to dangerous RAAC concrete, with costs deemed too high to repair. Dundee’s King’s Theatre, also on the “at risk” list since 2016, shows signs of decay — shifting windows, overgrown walls, and damp masonry — and its complex ownership adds to the challenge. Despite these setbacks, campaigners believe these venues, steeped in cultural memory, still hold immense value — and the fight to save them continues.
