Yet another rumour that Ratho will be closed to save edinburgh council a couple of quid.

A couple of points worthy of mention:
1. The Scotsman/Scotland On Sunday are appalling papers who have little in the way of understanding of journalism. More akin to gossip at best or idle lazy baseless speculation at worst.
2. All golf courses should be closed. Thought that was obvious really.

thanks graeme

if it was anyone other than "the scotsman" i'd be worried, but they churn out that sh-one-t once a year.

anyway i thought Ratho was now turning a profit?

It seems Edinburgh Leisure have £800,000 savings to find. Also being touted for closure (front page of Edin Evening News) are Dalry SwimCentre, Kirliston Leisure centre, Porty Golf club (developers have been after that for a bit iirc) and crags lesisure centre.

Apparently no decsion has been made yet...

Personally i'd be gutted if Dalry closed as it's where i swim.

My thoughts too. If it's Ratho, or a school, or 20 police, I know what I would do.

Save money by closing the Swim Centre and filling Ratho with 10 feet of water. That way you could swim and climb, with the additional bonus of deep water soloing.

actually i heard another rumor about ratho

it's possible that the starter of these rumors is one of the original investors in the venture. maybe now it's fixed and making money he wants it back?
