Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford praised a local school's achievement on being awarded its second 'Green Flag' at an event last week.
Ardallie School received a visit from the MP on Friday as part of its celebrations.
Commenting, Eilidh Whiteford MP said:
"This is a tremendous achievement for a small rural school and the pupils and teachers deserve our congratulations.
"Scotland has set the most ambitious climate change targets in the world and we all have a responsibility to live more sustainable lives that don't compromise the quality of life of future generations. It's highly encouraging, therefore, that our schools are demonstrating a real commitment to sustainability and greener thinking.
"Through the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, Scotland is committing to driving forward changes and our schools have a key part to play – as ably-demonstrated by Ardallie School."
