Construction of the £47m Lochside Academy in Aberdeen has been completed.

Lochside Academy replaces Kincorth Academy and Torry Academy, which will both close at the end of the current term.

The three-storey building will now be fitted out to prepare for the new school year, with its doors opening for the first intake in August.

With a capacity of up to 1350 pupils, the building also has community facilities including a six-lane swimming pool, fitness suite, dance and drama studios, 4G sports pitches, games hall and a library.

Councillor Jenny Laing said: "Lochside Academy is an impressive school which will serve the south of the city well for generations to come.

"Despite the scale of the project, it has been designed to ensure a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere that will support modern learning.

"Pupils, staff and the wider community will benefit from state of the art facilities and as a council we are proud to have delivered this for the city as part of the significant ongoing investment being made in education and recreation across Aberdeen.

"The city's young people will drive Aberdeen's future success and the council is determined to provide the best possible platform for pupils."
