Rural Priorities has approved a number of projects in a £60 million investment for Rural Scotland.
The projects will see 530 jobs created and 430 jobs sustained.
Around 4,500 projects have now been approved through the scheme, with eco-friendly tourist accommodation at Ballantrae, Ayrshire, a poultry farm near Peebles and a waste business near Greenock among the latest.
This is the seventh round of approvals from the Rural Priorities scheme, and £330 million has now been approved.
The grants provide both environmental and business support, with some paid over the course of several years to ensure the habitats are properly maintained.
A further 58 cases to be funded by approximately £9 million have been approved in principle and are undergoing final eligibility checks.
Rural Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "This is another major investment in rural Scotland that will lead to the creation of new businesses, new community facilities and a range of environmental projects."
"Rural Priorities alone has now approved around £330 million which will also develop our rural communities, protect Scotland's natural environment and combat climate change."
