An outdoor classroom being built on Queen Margaret University campus will be surrounded by a small forest overlooking a pond.
The university, on the outskirts of Musselburgh, worked with Edinburgh and Lothian Greenspace Trust to create the new learning hub to provide future teachers with outdoor lesson experience.
And the plans, which have been given the go ahead by East Lothian Council, will see a 'knowledge trail' created within the campus which will be available for public use.
