Detective Constable Jemma Green said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.

“Drugs cause misery in our all communities, not just cities and towns.

“The public has an important role to play in helping Police Scotland target those responsible for the cultivation, supply and sale of illegal substances.

“Our inquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact us.”
