Plans to transform a derelict 18th-century observatory on Calton Hill into a modern art gallery have been revealed.
Historic buildings that have lain empty for more than five years will be refurbished as the new home for the modern art Collective gallery, with a new pavilion being built in the north-west corner of the walled compound.
Celebrated architect Malcolm Fraser has been signed up to redevelop the William Playfair-designed observatory, visible across much of Edinburgh, that dates back to the construction of the city’s New Town.
