£5 million recovery fund for Edinburgh Princes Street fire pledged by Scottish Government

The Scottish Government has pledged up to £5 million to establish a recovery fund following a fire on Edinburgh's Princes Street. This financial support follows calls from local businesses for assistance after the blaze resulted in the closure of a significant section of the city's main thoroughfare. The funding is specifically designed to aid the recovery process for those affected by the incident and the subsequent disruption to the area's commercial activity.
