Preliminary Drawings for an Edinburgh Castle Amphitheatre

August 2026

Benjamin Tindall Architects

A huge thank you to the team at Benjamin Tindall Architects for helping to drive forward the vision of a stone amphitheatre at Edinburgh Castle.

Their preliminary drawings propose a brilliant approach: excavating the Esplanade, thereby transforming it with minimal impact on the Castle’s iconic silhouette, and potentially using the extracted stone for the build.
