Listen: Top Scottish architect says school closures "could be the start"

Councils across Scotland are checking their school buildings are safe - after seventeen were closed in Edinburgh.

It follows concern about whether they're structurally sound after a wall collapsed at Oxgangs Primary in a storm back in January.

They were built under a Public Private Partnership deal. Top architect Alan Dunlop - a visiting professor at Robert Gordon University - has publically criticised these contracts - arguing that they lead to the cutting of corners when designing buildings.
