Last part of Cockenzie Power Station demolished

The last remaining part of one of East Lothian's most recognisable landmark buildings has been demolished.

The boiler house at Cockenzie Power Station was flattened by explosives on Thursday, bringing to an end the dismantling of the station.

The demolition marked the last phase in the two-year process of decommissioning the station.

The boiler house was 220m in length, 60m in height, 30m in width, and was predominantly made of steel.

George Camps, ScottishPower project manager, said: "The project will continue at Cockenzie for at least the next six months‎, as we clear the materials from the site and remove the old office and other ancillary buildings.

"We will ensure that local communities are kept fully up-to-date."
