A new affordable housing development in Aberdeen has been opened by Housing Minister Kevin Stewart.
The Aberdeen Central MSP visited the development at Countesswells last week to view the properties, which will help ease the waiting list in the city.
Constructed by Stewart Milne on behalf of Hillcrest, there are 67 new homes.
The £9million development, which also offers people on mid-level income the chance to get on the property ladder, was partly funded by a charitable bond.
Mr Stewart said: “I am delighted to see the exceptional progress made at Hillcrest Housing Association’s development at Countesswells.
“The government’s innovative use of donations from charitable bond investment is making a real contribution to the delivery of our target to deliver 50,000 affordable homes by 2021.
“This development will promote strong integrated community living in Countesswells and provide high-quality affordable homes for the city.”
Hillcrest chairman Alan Russell, who welcomed Mr Stewart, said: “The completion of these homes at Countesswells marks a significant milestone for Hillcrest, and we were delighted to welcome Mr Stewart to our official handover.”
City council co-leader Douglas Lumsden said: “Working with registered social landlords and developers to increase the supply of affordable housing is an important part of Aberdeen City Council’s local housing strategy and we welcome the completion of these properties.”
