Netflix’s offer to mount Edinburgh’s One Day board has been rejected

The quote on the proposed sign reads: “It is one of the great cosmic mysteries. How can someone go from being a total stranger to being the most important person in your life.”

Last month, Tery Levinthal, director of the Cockburn Association, spoke out against the proposal.

He said: “If every production or every connection to a novel or film or TV series did the same, you wouldn’t be able to see parts of the city because of the proliferation of tiles.”

One Day, based on the book by David Nicholls, follows the lives of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew on St Swinthin’s Day – July 15 – every year.

They meet at the Edinburgh University prom in 1988 and have a failed one-night stand.

The series explores the couple’s relationship as they grow up, grow apart and grow apart together and experience joy and pain.

A memorable scene in Edinburgh was filmed on The Vennel Steps, a historic staircase that runs from the Grassmarket along the boundary of George Heriot’s School.

At the top of the steps is a famous view of Edinburgh Castle.
