"The Scottish Government recognises the important role town centres play in the community and have introduced this funding to give areas a boost of cash and confidence.
"This will undoubtedly help Kirkintilloch to develop a thriving local economy which is more able to adapt to modern markets as well as serve the local community.

"There were three projects highlighted within the town to receive the cash these include, the demolition of the town hall annexe building, preparation work for development on the Kirkintilloch Initiative Glasgow Road site, and the third project was for ground improvement works at the Auld Kirk Museum.
"This money will bring other financial investment into the area along with jobs which in turn stimulates the area’s economy – fantastic news before Christmas."
