BBC Scotland
Two giant pandas are due to arrive in Edinburgh on Sunday, December 4 officials have announced.
Tian Tian and Yang Guang will make the journey from China in perspex cages on board a special chartered flight.
They will be the first pandas to live in the UK for 17 years.
The pandas, who will live in separate enclosures, will be given about two weeks to become accustomed to their new environment before they go on display to the public.
