A shocking 6,702 Glasgow homes are lying empty.
Campaigners say bringing the properties back into use could be vital helping desperate families find a permanent place to live. Glasgow City Council insists vacant homes are a "wasted resource" and has targeted 52 for compulsory purchase orders in over the last three years.
Details emerged as National Records of Scotland figures show more than 100,000 homes in Scotland have no one living in them, some of them vacant for decades. In Glasgow alone in 2021 6,702 of the city's 319,810 homes were vacant, 2,958 of them long term.
