BBC News
Ambitious plans are being unveiled to turn the house which inspired the story of Peter Pan into a Scottish centre for children's literature.
It is hoped the Moat Brae scheme in Dumfries can be completed by 2015.
Author JM Barrie played in the grounds of the building as a child but the property has fallen into disrepair.
The Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust is currently raising funds for the upgrade of the building and has secured Joanna Lumley as a patron for its plans.
The house and garden were in private ownership between 1823 and 1914.
