Some schools in Scotland were last inspected ten years ago or more, according to an investigation.

A sample survey of over 500 primary and secondary schools in five local authorities - Glasgow, Falkirk, Highland, Moray and Shetland - revealed variations across the country.

Figures show that 15 per cent of primaries, 67 out of 436, had not had an inspection report for a decade or longer.

Whiteinch primary in Glasgow and Staffin primary in Highland had reports dating back to 2004.

Three secondaries had not been inspected for a decade - St Paul’s High in Glasgow, Mallaig High and Dingwall Academy in Highland.
