Work has started on two school expansion projects in the Scottish Borders.
One will see a new £625,000 support centre for pupils with complex needs constructed at Galashiels Academy.

Work on the nursery facility is due to be finished by April 2018 while the expected completion date of the new support centre is a month later.

"I look forward to seeing the completion of both projects in 2018."
