Dozens of residents rocked by a gas explosion in their street have been unable to return to their homes and some fear their properties may have to be pulled down.
The blast last week killed James Smith, 84, and injured neighbours Robert Taylor and Stephanie Chapman.
Five homes next to the centre of the explosion at Baberton Mains Avenue in Edinburgh are boarded up and are under police guard. Owners of houses opposite were given permission on Friday to retrieve personal effects.
Gary Taylor, 65, and wife Norma, 75, fear they may never be able to return to the property where they have lived for 35 years and claim it may have to be demolished.
The retired bookseller said the blast on December 1 had caused five centimetre cracks in his walls and ceilings.
He said: “The noise from the explosion will be one I will never forget. I have resigned myself to the fact that the house might have to be pulled down if it is not structurally safe. No one can guarantee the safety of our homes at present. At the end of the day it may depend on what the insurance companies are prepared to pay.
“My hope would be that the house could be rebuilt on the same spot.”
Gary believes that, even if his house is repaired and declared safe, it could be a year before he gets back in.
The area around the blast site has been sealed off to allow a police investigation to take place.
It is understood that the Crown Office has ordered all gas devices and appliances to be removed from the rubble for examination.
A number of locals, including Steven MacLennan and Ross Aitchison, have been hailed heroes for pulling Stephanie from her collapsed home. Others helped lead her partner Robert to safety. Both Robert, 54, and Stephanie, 43, are being treated in the specialist

Justin Timberlake for his behaviour towards Britney Spears and Janet Jackson in the past, calling him a “grubby little eel face”.Timberlake has received considerable criticism over various revelations Spears made about him in her recent memoir The Woman In Me. The pair dated between 1998 and 2002 and Spears claimed Timberlake had cheated on her multiple times, and also discussed how he damaged her reputation through the ‘Cry Me A River’ video, where “a woman who looks like me cheats on him and he wanders around sad in the rain”.She added that the media saw her as a “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy” when in reality she was “comatose in Louisiana” trying to mend her broken heart while Timberlake was “happily running around Hollywood”.Spears also claimed he pressured her to have an abortion when he got her pregnant because he thought they “weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives” and were “way too young”.

From Perez: “I have been to thousands of concerts. And THIS ONE will forever remain one of my favorites ever! This moment specifically, from @KylieMinogue’s Las Vegas residency at @VenetianVegas’ @VoltaireLV, is an instant highlight of my life! I was obviously aware of Kylie Minogue growing up, but it was this song – “Spinning Around”, released in 2000 – that really got me into her entire body of work. Recently graduated from NYU and a voracious lover of music, I went to the old Tower Records on Broadway and 4th and bought all her old albums. Plus, I became obsessed with “Light Years”. Her music has since been a constant in my life. She and her songs bring me joy. Pure joy! Kylie has the best quality control! Consistency queen!! Greatness and nothing but greatness. Every time! She doesn’t miss! And, I’ve been fortunate enough to see her in concert many times – from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Boston and New York. But seeing her so intimately in Vegas – what a treat! A true blessing for all us hardcore Kylie fans! And she is having the time of her life on that stage! I would go to every single one of the shows, if I could. And I’m not even kidding! “
