Towns to share £4.4m funding

A £4.4 million funding boost for regeneration projects in Scotland has been announced by Historic Environment Scotland (HES).

The investment, part of the eighth round of the Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (Cars), will be split across four towns: Inverkeithing (£1,007,700) Hawi ck (£1,314,800), lochgilp head (£969,700) and Mauchline (£1,119,800).

Cars is a regeneration initiative designed to direct funding to town centres that would benefit from heritage-led redevelopment.
