The UK Culture Secretary has hailed the resilience of Glasgow School of Art staff and students on a visit to the fire-damaged building.
Sajid Javid was in the city to see how UK Government cash will be used to help restore the renowned Charles Rennie Mackintosh masterpiece.
Chancellor George Osborne announced earlier this month that £5 million would be made available to go towards the cost of creating the school's planned Graduate and Research Centre.
The funds are in addition to £5m the Government pledged last month to helpd rebuild the fire-damaged landmark.
Mr Javid said: "The damage done by the fire is terrible but what really hits is the loss of students' work and the many hours of creativity and dedication they poured into it."
