A further 10 sites are expected to be bought this year for an additional 1,415 new homes.

Douglas McLeod, the company's regional managing director for Scotland, said: "Demand for good-quality homes in Scotland shows no signs of slowing, in line with a steadily growing population.

"For our part, we are continuing to invest in Scotland, acquiring new sites and building homes in popular places where people want to live.

"The good news is that we're seeing an increase in the number of locations across Scotland which have become desirable places to live, helping to foster the growth of new communities while at the same time stimulating local economies."
