A council has agreed to endorse the £74m second phase of an education overhaul in a south of Scotland town.
It would complete a journey which began about a decade ago to modernise school provision in Dumfries.
The project would see a new Dumfries High School built, a major refurbishment of Dumfries Academy, and Loreburn Primary relocated.
It would mean all four secondary schools in the town had either been replaced or completely overhauled.
