Zoo won't get 'wow' factor

A SERIES of "wow" attractions at Edinburgh Zoo have been mothballed as a row over plans to sell land for housing rumbles on.

New enclosures for penguins, orangutans and rhinos are among the projects put on ice.

Plans to sell land for 125 new houses on Corstorphine Hill were blocked when the Scottish Government ruled against "high-density" housing on the site.

Plans for a visitor centre and a panda enclosure are expected to go ahead.
