The projects include plans for a new premises for Edinburgh Printmakers, the restoration and development of Moat Brae house and gardens in Dumfries as Scotland's first centre for children's literature, and the creation of a large sculpture at St Ninian's Surface Mine, near Kelty in Fife. The restoration and upgrading of the Picture House Cinema in Campbeltown, the upgrade of the Ayr Gaiety Theatre, and a refurbishment of spaces at The Arches in Glasgow are also in the running for funding.
