'Buy local food' call to schools
Scotland's schools are being encouraged to give pupils more locally-produced food in their meals.
The call came from Environment Minister Ross Finnie, who said more local authorities should follow the lead set by East Ayrshire Council.
A pilot scheme in 11 primary schools saw more pupils eating school meals and led to an improvement in the quality of the food on offer.
Mr Finnie said more schools should "buy local and eat local".
