£11.3m boost for 'shovel-ready' cultural heritage projects in Scotland
Scottish culture secretary Fiona Hyslop has announced additional investment worth £11.3m for a number of "shovel-ready" cultural heritage projects throughout the country.
Among the schemes to benefit from the cash injection is the development of Lews Castle in Stornoway into a hotel and museum, which has secured £1.6m over two years.
Creative Scotland has been awarded £3m of additional funding over three years in order to support more projects and provide better facilities for artists and audiences.
Meanwhile, Historic Scotland has received a further £2m towards ensuring heritage assets continue to be maintained effectively, reducing the need for repairs in future.
Hyslop said: "This funding for shovel-ready culture and heritage projects will inject growth into the economy, demonstrating how this government is using all the powers we have to create new opportunities for our people."
