The Edinburgh-based World Care Foundation has bought the old governor's house at Saughton prison with the intention to turn it into a Muslim primary school and potentially later also a Muslim high school.
Edinburgh Council refused permission last year for the project but the charity is seeking permission again this year.
The charity says that the school is needed as Edinburgh's Muslim population has grown from 11,000 in 2011 to 17,000 by 2018 and is continuing to grow rapidly.
Muslim schools south of the border have proved to be problematic, with many having lax teaching standards and being found to be promoting a radical fundamentalist version of Islam. Not something we want to see in Scotland. Hopefully the council will reject this school again.
