Britain’s second largest Ferris wheel has sent Edinburgh into a spin after plans were announced for a 120m tall replica to grace the Leith waterfront.Though huge even this girth would be busted by a planned 208m diameter wheel in Beijing.

Talks are ongoing with Edinburgh City Council to allow the attraction to roll into town.
