Plans to turn a derelict site at the gateway to Dalkeith into a row of upmarket town houses with their own roof gardens have been lodged with Midlothian planners.
The proposals for the former Lugton Inn site come just months after council workers were sent in to clear it after it was described as an 'eyesore'.
At the time Midlothian councillors asked officers to look into whether they could use a compulsory purchase order to take over the land with the possibility of turning it into a community woodland or amenity space.
