Kilwinning Academy pupils have been helping to clear litter from the town's McGavin Park.

Joined by Campus Officer PC Watters, the team of S1 pupils from the school attended the park after volunteering to litter pick the local area.

Saltire Awards are the Scottish Government scheme to celebrate, recognise and reward the commitment, contribution and achievements of young volunteers in Scotland.

Well done to the pupils - and PC Watters - for their amazing efforts.
