Dundee’s iconic Discovery Point is set to undergo a £12 million transformation – with more than half the funds already secured.
The project will see the attraction – home to RRS Discovery – given a major overhaul.
And the new features, which will include a “dome experience”, are set to have a focus on climate change and the environment.

The project – which was first unveiled last year – has been awarded £900,000 of Scottish Government funding through the Tay Cities Culture and Tourism Investment Programme, with another £1.6m approved subject to a successful match-funding drive.
