Families flocked to the new Go Ape treetop adventure course at Dalkeith Country Park.
The venue, located just outside Edinburgh, gives under 10s the chance to enjoy treetop adventures for the first time.
There was huge excitement as groups visited the course for the first time on Friday. Go Ape superfan Verity Bailes cut the ribbon to officially open the venue, and she became the first ever woman to complete all 34 Go Ape treetop courses.
The Dalkeith course represents the fourth to have been opened in Scotland and it offers visitors three experiences – treetop adventure, treetop adventure plus and treetop challenge.
Youngsters over the age of six, and who are more than 1-metre tall, can enjoy their treetop adventure, while treetop adventure plus is for those taller than 1.2-metres who want a more challenging experience – and a SOLO zip journey.
The treetop challenge is for daredevils over 1.4-metres tall who want something a bit tougher to test themselves against.
Dalkeith site Manager, Stewart Deards said: “It’s been amazing to watch the site grow from the ground up.
"Everyone has put in so much effort to develop such a fantastic course, train up our team of eager new starters and we can’t wait to hear the first forest calls of customers in our treetops."
