A disused quarry will be turned into an artificial surfing lake after the project was approved by planners.Craigpark Quarry, near Ratho on the western outskirts of Edinburgh, will become Wavegarden Scotland, an artificial surf park and leisure complex.Edinburgh council’s development management sub-committee approved the project on Wednesday.The development, powered by technology called The Cove, will be able to generate 1000 waves an hour ranging from 80cm to 2.4m, making it more convenient than many coastal locations.It is hoped the new development will give Scotland an edge against other countries as surfing becomes an Olympic sport.
