An Edinburgh school could be torn down to make way for a new state of the art building if plans are to go ahead.
Proposals were filed this week for a brand new Liberton Community High School which would replace the existing and dated building.
A major redevelopment, the standing structure would be flattened, with a new three storey building then constructed on site.
First built and opened in the 1950s, a refurbishment of Liberton occurred in the 1980s, with a number of areas modernised at the time.

However, with its most recent remodelling over 30 years ago, the school could see a complete transformation, with a GP surgery and other community facilities to be built along with it.
Submitting the initial proposals, the City of Edinburgh Council explained that a 12-week consultation period will now begin, to understand the impact on the surrounding area.
It comes after the school was subject to a devastating tragedy in 2014, when an unstable wall collapsed, killing a pupil at the school.
Keane Wallis-Bennett was crushed by the structure while at the school, with a fatal accident enquires ruling that no one was responsible for the death.

However, Keane’s mother took legal action in an attempt for “accountability”, with the 41-year-old eventually receiving an out of court settlement.
A consultation document read: "With an open approach and desire to create a two-way dialogue, we invite comment and seek feedback from all those interested in and affected by this project.
"We will use existing channels through groups with previous experience in engaging with the local community, such as Community Council and of course the existing Liberton HighSchool and feeder primaries
"In parallel we will aim to reach a wider audience through two public drop in sessions at the current high school.Information will be distributed locally via posters, flyers, on the Council’s website and via social media) to ensure that the school community and other interest groups are aware of the opportunities to participate in the process."
