The Scottish Government has been accused of presiding over “disgraceful” waits in temporary housing after new figures were revealed.
Freedom of Information data showed one person in Argyll and Bute has spent 13 years in temporary digs in Edinburgh.
One child in Edinburgh has waited seven years whilst a child in Fife has been waiting for a permanent home for over four years.
East Lothian had longest average waits at 342.
Tory MSP Meghan Gallacher said: “It is an absolute disgrace. SNP ministers continue to be detached from the reality facing far too many.”
Housing minister Paul McLennan said: “We have supported delivery of over 133,000 affordable homes since 2007, with £600m investment this year plus £80m in the next two years.”
