Giant Wheel Proposed for Edinburgh

The London Eye is a popular destination for tourists visiting England's capital. Now Scotland's capital could have its own version.

Plans have been proposed for a giant wheel to be built in Edinburgh. This would stand 120 metres high and be called Scotland's National Wheel. Planning restrictions and lack of space would prevent it being built in the city centre, instead a site on the Leith waterfront has been suggested.

If building of the wheel goes ahead it's hoped that it could become a major tourist destination and attract over half a million visitors a year.
