WORK ON a new multi-million pound facility for soldiers blinded in action is due to start next week.
The new building will house a workshop, art space, training areas, gym, therapy spaces and a remembrance room.
Costing £3 million, it has been funded by donations and legacies, and will open in 2010.
The Scottish National Institute for War Blinded are constructing the new state of the art centre next to their existing workshop in Wilkieston, West Lothian.
Having worked with blinded servicemen and women since world war two, the centre is hoping that the new facilities can help rehabilitate modern soldiers.
