SCOTTISH Labour’s Cara Hilton called SNP pledges to fund education “long overdue” yesterday after Holyrood’s Education Secretary John Swinney pledged to create a new campus in Dunfermline.

Mr Swinney has announced that a new shared learning campus will be built to replace Woodmill High School, which was badly damaged by a fire in late August.

The estimated cost will be between £150-180 million and Holyrood has pledged to invest up to £90m to fund the college campus and up to 50 per cent of the school costs.
