Upwards of £3million has been raised for a huge Innis & Gunn brewery in Edinburgh – the first major brewery of its kind to be built in the city in 150 years.
Innis & Gunn say their funding target has been hit with more than 2000 people supporting their campaign.
They had been inviting people to invest in the facility and launched a crowdfunding campaign late last year.
And now the plans have taken a step forward with a sum of £3,114,334 raised for the project.
The brewery is expected to open at the Heriot-Watt University research campus in Riccarton, to the west of the city, in 2021.
The university will partner with Innis & Gunn on the project to create a world-renowned "centre for brewing studies".
There are also plans to open a visitor centre and a tap room at a later date.
In addition to the £3m raised, a £15m loan will be used to fund the brewery.
Founder and master brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp previously said: "Building this brewery is a big step for Innis & Gunn in delivering our ambitious growth plan, from which we can capitalise on the existing strong performance of our craft lager and portfolio of IPAs and barrel-aged beers.
"We are creating a centre for brewing, collaboration and applied learning on the world stage."
He added: "Building it next to a centre of excellence for brewing and distilling talent makes absolute business sense; cementing a long-standing relationship with the university and enabling us to add on-campus practical experience for students."
