The owner of a rundown cottage in Old Kilpatrick has purchased the surrounding land in a bid to transform the building into a family home.
Members of the infrastructure, regeneration and economic development (IRED) committee have sold the land near Ferrydykes Cottage to Mr Malik, who acquired the property from Scottish Canals and Waterways in 2006, for £20,000.
A report presented to the committee yesterday described the cottage as being in a “poor state of repair” with only the external walls remaining in place.
