Primary school pupils have celebrated St Andrew's Day with a parade and ceilidh. 

Pupils at St Mungo's Primary School, in the Townhead area of the city, were led by piper Captain David Beveridge as they paraded around the school carrying flags with parents lining up outside the playground to watch.

They then went back inside to enjoy a ceilidh as well as Irn-Bru and shortbread.

Patricia McNulty, acting headteacher, said they started the event last year to make connections with parents post-Covid. 

She said: "Many of our children come from many different countries. 

"We have over 35 languages at St Mungo's spoken so today is about celebrating our diversity and all our cultures that we have here as well as the fact that we're all one culture now living in Scotland."

She continued: "We're currently building a technologies room where we hope to celebrate the diversity of cookery and foods and things the children might have at home they want to share with us so we're all about sharing our differences but also what brings us together." 

Jennifer McBride, acting depute headteacher, added: "The children have been building up to this in terms of they've been learning the ceilidh dances for a few weeks, learning about Scotland, and on Friday we had a day where the children came in their own national dress so this a wee bit different recognising what brings everybody together."
