"By building good quality, energy efficient homes in the communities they are needed the most, we are contributing not only to addressing the housing shortage, but the continued sustainability of the region and its distinct communities as a whole."

Housing Minister, Kevin Stewart said: "Everyone in Scotland should have a safe and warm place to call home and our ambition to deliver 50,000 affordable homes during the lifetime of this Parliament will help to deliver this.

"I am therefore delighted to see that our support has helped to deliver this excellent and much needed affordable housing development in Dingwall

"These new homes will bring benefits to the tenants as well providing a valuable contribution to the needs of the local community."
