Half a million pounds is to be awarded to the troubled V&A project by the Treasury, it has been announced.
As part of the third round of the Coastal Communities Fund, almost £10 million is being awarded across Scotland.
The Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther is set to receive £166,857, mainly to be used for boat-building and restoration, and Fife Council will use £754,439 to create a new landing platform at the town pier in North Queensferry.
Last week it was announced that the cost of V&A museum, the centrepiece of Dundee’s waterfront regeneration, had spiralled to £80.1m.
The project has since been boosted by an additional £10m from the Scottish Government.
The Coastal Communities Fund was launched in 2012 and aimed to invest in coastal towns and villages.
Previously Angus Council was awarded £220,000 to rejuvenate West Links in Arbroath and Fife Council was given £175,000 for a Leven coastal woodland regeneration project.
Fife Coast & Countryside Trust was also awarded £275,147 to upgrade Fife Coastal Path, as well as improve Pathhead Sands.
The third round of funding sees £9.58m awarded, completing a total of £17.28m given to all over Scotland over the duration of the project and almost £2m given to Tayside and Fife.
A spokesman for the Treasury described how the alloted funding will be spent in Dundee.
“The grant will contribute to the delivery of the Victoria and Albert Museum of Design Dundee, which will be an iconic cornerstone in Dundee’s waterfront regeneration, creating both direct and indirect jobs.”
