An adventure park in the middle of a Midlothian country estate has been given the go ahead to expand to create more picnic space for visitors.
Fort Douglas Adventure Park, in Dalkeith Country Park, is a popular attraction for families, with zipwires, climbing walls, mazes and tunnels to explore.
The Buccleuch Estate, which owns the park, said recent expansions of the play area meant open space had been reduced and it wanted to add nearly half a hectare of additional land into the popular attraction.
