Tests are being carried out on Scottish high-rises which may have significant amounts of Grenfell-type cladding.

Council contractors removed material from two buildings at Glasgow Harbour on Thursday.

It is the first time tests have been undertaken on 19 privately-owned buildings identified as having with the cladding.

Eighty people died during a blaze at Grenfell Tower linked to flammable aluminium composite insulation.

A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: "Where additional support has been sought, we are working with partners including the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to provide it.

"This currently includes an ongoing assessment of cladding and we have today, in agreement with owners, removed samples from two properties for further inspection and testing."

The results will be shared with residents, he added.

The council began delivering warning letters to people living in 800 Glasgow flats on Friday and everybody affected is now believed to have been informed.

A working group set up to review building fire safety in Scotland in the wake of Grenfell met for the first time on Thursday.

Following the meeting, communities minister Angela Constance said: "Everyone involved in this group shares a commitment to do all we can to reassure home owners and residents of buildings where aluminium composite material cladding is identified are kept fully informed about any tests being carried out and know where they can get further advice and guidance.
