BBC News (Edinburgh and East Fife) writes:
Miranda Dickson was ordered to change the colour last year after an anonymous complaint to City of Edinburgh Council.
The local authority ruled that the pink door was not “in keeping with the historic character” of the listed building in the city’s New Town area.
Now Ms Dickson, 49, has painted the door green after failing to overturn the enforcement notice.
She had started an 18-month revamp of the three-storey Georgian house during the Covid lockdown….
She transformed the house after moving back from the US, where she was a global brand director for a drinks company.
The last task was painting the front door in December 2021 – but….she received an enforcement notice, which said she could be fined up to £20,000….
