A total of £230 million has been allocated towards the building project, which is part of the final phase of the £1.8 billion 'Schools for the Future' programme.

• Glasgow – Blairdardie Primary School and Carntyne Primary School
• Highland – Alness Academy
• Inverclyde – Kilmacolm Primary School
• Moray – Lossiemouth High School
• North Lanarkshire – Cumbernauld Academy
• Renfrewshire – St Fergus Primary School
• South Ayrshire – Queen Margaret Academy
• South Lanarkshire – Burnside Primary School
• Stirling – St Margaret's Primary School
Since the Schools for the Future Programme began, it has created an estimated 11,000 construction jobs along with 230 apprenticeships.
Once these final schools have been developed, it will bring the total number of new or refurbished schools across Scotland to 112.
SFM Nicola Sturgeon said: "We had planned to build or refurbish 55 schools across Scotland, these new schools now take the total to 112 - more than double our original target. Since 2007, we have worked with local authorities to rebuild or refurbish 607 schools, resulting in the number of children educated in 'poor' or 'bad' condition schools falling by 60 per cent.
"This infrastructure investment programme has already generated an estimated 11,000 construction jobs and 230 apprenticeship placements. Now as these further developments begin construction we will see a further boost to the economy right across the country."
