Netflix's Plaque Proposal for 'One Day' Sparks Heritage Concerns in Edinburgh

Heritage watchdogs criticize Netflix's plan to install a plaque at a historic Edinburgh site, calling it product marketing.

Netflix has applied for permission to install a plaque in The Vennel, a historic Edinburgh location featured in the TV series 'One Day.'
The plaque, featuring a quote from the series, would be placed on a listed building opposite the 16th-century Flodden Wall.
The Cockburn Association, a heritage conservation group, argues the plaque serves as mere product marketing and lacks cultural relevance to Edinburgh.
Critics highlight the potential for increased 'selfie tourism,' which could negatively impact the local community and degrade the tourism experience.
Historic Environment Scotland oversees plaque policies, typically honoring those who made significant contributions to Scotland and are deceased.
