A shock report has revealed that almost 400 buildings in Scotland, including tower blocks, have a potentially deadly type of cladding.
Homes, schools, colleges, hospitals and hotels are all considered by a new probe.
Concerns about cladding have been prompted by the Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017, which killed 72.
The Sunday Mail can reveal a recently completed inspection of 8547 buildings has found 393 with highly combustible High Pressure Laminate (HPL) cladding.
Of those, 95 were tower blocks, 27 colleges or universities, 244 state schools, nine private schools, five hospitals, one prison, five hotels and seven care homes.
The report says 12 per cent of tower blocks have HPL panels and 10 per cent of schools.
Most of the 95 tower blocks inspected were council owned, with cladding dating back to the 90s.
In the report, published last week, the Scottish Government claimed the majority of the 393 buildings with HPL panels had the higher levels of fire safety (Class 0 or A1/A2/B).
It admitted 17 of the tower blocks tested had no fire safety classification at all.
The report also claimed HPL is not as dangerous as the Aluminium Composite Material panels found at Grenfell.
Dr Jonathan Evans, a member of the Metal Cladding and Roofing Manufacturers Association, said: "None of these test results are reassuring, particularly the fact some give a Class 0 rating.
"Current fire classifications do not give a clear indication how materials like HPL cladding perform in a real fire.
"Technically, the cladding materials found in Grenfell had a Class 0.
"Standard-grade HPL should never be used in high-rise buildings.
"The Scottish Government should be replacing it with a non-combustible material and making the buildings safe."
Sean Clerkin, of the Scottish Tenants Organisation, said: "We must remove all combustible cladding so no one is at risk of a Grenfell-type fire in Scotland."
Last month we revealed inspections had begun on 25 of 108 flat blocks in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow with a view to removing cladding.
The Scottish Government refused to give the addresses.
In August it emerged Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital was forced to remove interior cladding.
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "The vast majority of the buildings with external HPL cladding meet the highest levels of safety standards.
"The Scottish Government expects duty holders and local authorities to deliver a safe environment for all building users."
