iStockA cannabis farm worth around £12m is believed to be the largest found in Scotland to date.
Officers raided a derelict building at the former Fife College Nairn Campus in Kirkcaldy on June 18, where the cultivation was discovered.
The haul has now been valued at almost £12m.
Around 5,000 plants were recovered, with the estimated product weight totalling over 1,000kg.
Investigations into the find are ongoing.
Detective inspector Samantha Davidson said: “This was a sizeable and highly organised cultivation – the most significant we’ve seen in Scotland – with the potential to generate a multi-million-pound return through illegal means.
“This recovery underlines our ongoing commitment to tackling serious organised crime through the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“We will continue to act on intelligence and use all available resources at our disposal to disrupt the production and supply of controlled drugs.
“Anyone with information or concerns about drugs in their area can call Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
