Isla, an S5 pupil, said: “I am absolutely delighted to have won an award with my little cottage photograph. I never imagined at the time I took it, that it would be worthy of an award, so I am over the moon that it has received such recognition.”

The My Place Photography Competition is a Scotland-wide photography project run by the Scottish Civic Trust for young people, aged between four and18.

This year all entries had to include part of a Scottish building. There were entries from 438 young people with prizes for primary and secondary school entrants.

The Academy’s art department said it is “delighted” for Isla.
