Images have been revealed for the new accommodation being built by the City of Edinburgh Council to cater for increased free primary school meal provision.
Planning applications have now been submitted for the accommodation at four schools across the capital – Cramond, East Craigs, Towerbank and Sciennes.
The new buildings and extensions are needed so the Council can meet Scottish Government requirements to provide free school meals for all P1 to P3s.

Some of the final works by renowned Scottish artist John Bellany will go on public display, in January 2016, for the first time as the Scottish Parliament holds an exhibition exploring the role of the Scottish Women’s Hospitals.
John Bellany and the Scottish Women’s Hospitals will feature several previously unseen pieces of Bellany’s work in an exhibition that looks at the impact of the hospitals and their role across Europe in the First World War.
The artworks were inspired by the work of Dr Elsie Inglis and more than 1,500 women who served in the Scottish Women’s Hospitals which were active in countries including France, Serbia and Russia. The paintings and drawings explore the subject of war, field hospitals, nursing and the experiences of the injured soldiers.
The exhibition will also feature a specially commissioned poem by Scotland’s Makar, Liz Lochhead, who was inspired by Bellany’s works. Archive photographs, film and objects on loan from public and private collections tell the wider story of the hospitals.
