Two sports centres in the north have been awarded Glasgow Commonwealth Games legacy funding to improve their facilities.

Atlantis Leisure in Oban has been given £50,000 for tennis courts and The Pickaquoy Centre Trust in Kirkwall, Orkney has received £16,233 to buy a submersible platform lift for a swimming pool.

The two projects are among 34 across Scotland which have received a share of £1.5 million from the £10million Legacy 2014 Active Places Fund.

Following the fifth and final allocation of the fund, a total of 188 projects across the country have now benefited from the Scottish Government pot.

Minister for Sport Jamie Hepburn said: “The projects are great examples of where people come together to identify what their community needs.

“Whether it’s upgrading an existing facility, or starting a brand new venture, the Active Places Fund has been able to help these projects, big and small, to encourage physical activity in their communities.

I hope that as a result of these investments many more people will be inspired to take up sport and lead more active lives.”
