The meals, which include Scotch Lamb Naan Pizza and Scotch Lamb Dhansak, will be cooked and eaten in the institutions, including St Ninian's High School in Kirkintilloch.

Lesley Cameron, marketing and communications director at Quality Meat Scotland, said: “We are proud to be encouraging the nation to enjoy Scotch Lamb on St Andrew’s Day.
"Not always the go-to choice for youngsters, lamb is a sustainable protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the country’s unique landscape - it most certainly deserves its place on the table.
“This year more families than ever will be looking to make savvy swaps during the cost-of-living crisis and budget-friendly cuts of Scotch Lamb are great for recipes such as curries that can be batch cooked and frozen.
“Enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, the red meat is packed with immune-boosting health benefits including containing B12 and zinc.”
