An official investigation by Audit Scotland has found the vessels being built at Ferguson Marine will now cost at least £240 million - more than double their original price.

Construction of the dual-fuel ferries, which are meant to serve the Clyde and Hebrides, has been plagued with setbacks since they were first ordered in 2015.
