The views down from the bridges to the Forth and Berwick Law are protected and there are lots of groups that will wade in. I expect it will take a long time. St James redevelopment was always hampered by the Scottish Office buildings - are they gone/going. Its a great site.

Re: 300 mill Old Town development
That area of town is now derelict and dangerous at night. Things move on. The Bongo Club was OK but the premises were a total shit-hole. The only thing that bugs me about it is the feckers in the council who no doubt will be getting plumper by the minute.
