Scotland's £33 million sports performance centre has been described as "world class", as the final touches are made before its opening.

Oriam, situated on Heriot-Watt University's campus in Edinburgh, will become the home of Scottish football and rugby and will also cater for basketball, handball, squash and racketball.

The concept of a national centre was taken from the findings of the McLeish review into Scottish football.

The Scottish Government contributed £24 million to the project, with sportscotland, Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh City Council providing the remaining £9 million.

The development's main features include Europe's biggest indoor football facility, and high-performance sports provisions such as a hydrotherapy pool and a strength and conditioning suite.

Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan said: "Oriam is a facility the whole of Scottish sport - and, indeed, the whole of the country - should be immensely proud of.

"What started as a bold ambition is now a magnificent reality, one that is befitting of its status as the crown jewel of the Scottish FA's performance strategy."

Oriam will have five outdoor grass football pitches and two outdoor grass rugby pitches, as well as a floodlit, all-weather playing surface. Other indoor facilities include a sports hall, a fitness centre, rehab facilities and a classroom.

Aileen Campbell, Minister for Public Health and Sport, said: "It's tremendous news that this fantastic facility has been finished on time and on budget. I was delighted to take a look around the centre and to see the facilities first-hand before it opens to the public.

"This is another world class sporting facility for Scotland that will benefit both our elite athletes and grassroots competitors."

The building's completion comes as Scottish athletes return from the Rio Olympics with a record-equalling medal haul.

The centre opens on August 29 and it will host an event celebrating the success of Scottish Olympians in September.
