Scotland's only oil refinery is to close by the summer of next year, with the loss of 400 jobs.

Petroineos said the closure of Grangemouth was due to it being unable to compete with sites in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

The company announced last November it intended to close the plant, but union leaders had hoped the facility could remain open longer to provide time for a green alternative to be established at the site.

The refinery was opened by BP in 1924.
