Outdoor cinema screenings, a sculpture garden and nature trails will be created under plans for a multi-million-pound cultural attraction on Edinburgh's waterfront.
Markets, large-scale works of art, allotments and new sports facilities have also been proposed as part of the project to make a new 'coastal town' in the north of the city.
Spearheaded by the National Galleries of Scotland, it would see the creation of a huge building, where Scotland's most important art treasures would be safeguarded.

The project, which will include modern studios for conservation and research, is expected to help the National Galleries expand its collection over the next two decades.
Both The Art Works and its art-themed grounds will be open to the public, with the development hoped to create a new focal point for Granton.
The complex would be built on a brownfield site bordered by the remains of a historic car factory dating back to 1898 and retail units.
An official consultation brochure on the project states: "The Art Works will be much more than a world-class building to care for Scotland's national art collection.
"We're creating a place both inside and out with the needs of the local community at its heart.
"Inside there will be social spaces and amenities for visitors' comfort and enjoyment while, outside there will be opportunities for activity areas and bringing the environment to life.
"The landscape proposals aim to improve access through the creation of new pedestrian and cycle-routes, to provide space for active open space uses, and to improve biodiversity through new tree planting and the creation of wildflower meadows.
"A spatial framework of routes, landforms, and trees will accommodate a wide range of diverse and evolving usesfrom urban gardening and outdoor learning to events and large-scale sculptures.
"The Art Works will be a cultural focal point for the local community, offering new spaces for all to share and enjoy and will contribute to regeneration of the local area by expanding social amenities, encouraging employment, enhancing cultural activity, and providing an economic stimulus."
Sir John Leighton, director-general of the National Galleries, said: "This is an incredibly exciting moment for both the National Galleries of Scotland and the communities of North Edinburgh.
"The Art Works has the potential to be truly transformative, not only in how Scotland's national collection of art is cared for and shared more widely, but also by providing much-needed new facilities to unleash the creative confidence and spirit of the local area."
