A NEW home for the Dundee Museum of Transport is one of 24 projects to benefit from £21.5 million to revitalise vacant or derelict land.
A former tram depot in the city will be converted into the new site for the museum with the help of £1m Scottish Government funding.
Other projects to receive support include a plan to revive the slate quarry on the island of Luing, which has been dormant for 60 years.
A former glue factory in Glasgow is due to be converted into film production suites, while a derelict school in Borrodale on the Isle of Skye will be transformed into housing.
The money comes from two Scottish Government regeneration funds, with Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes (below) inviting new expressions of interest for regeneration projects in the next financial year.
She said: “This funding will help to transform derelict sites the length and breadth of Scotland, creating homes, jobs and facilities that drive economic growth, tackle poverty and help support and grow thriving communities.
“This funding forms part of a wider £62.15 million investment by the Scottish Government towards regeneration projects in 2025-26. This will help to revitalise green spaces, town centres and derelict sites to benefit people across Scotland.
“The 2025 Programme for Government sets out our renewed commitment to supporting regeneration projects across the country, with one streamlined fund delivering this vision from next year.”
