The online retail giant Amazon is to create hundreds of new jobs in Scotland, the BBC understands.
It is thought the majority of the posts will be located in Fife which already has a plant in Glenrothes.
The company also has warehouses in Gourock, Inverclyde, and a development centre in South Queensferry.
Further details will be announced later by the First Minister Alex Salmond and Amazon Europe vice president Allan Lyall.
Established in 1998, Amazon offers a wide variety of products over the internet, including books, movies, music, PC and video games, software and electronics.
