Ten pupils from the Highlands are set for a trip to France this week to help commemorate the centenary of a World War I battle where 18,000 Scottish soldiers died.
Paige Rosie and Erin MacGregor from Wick High School, Alfie Robertson and Ben Stuart from Alness Academy, Ellie Ferguson and Lily Fraser from Dingwall Academy, Dylan Morrison and Kian MacKay from Kinlochbervie High School and Polina Iljina and Kathleen Rigby from Lochaber High School have all been selected for a five-day trip.
It has been organised by WW100 Scotland, to remember the fallen at the Battle of Arras.
A total of 72 students will be taking part, representing each Scottish local authority.
They will be joined by a matching number of French and Canadian students at a memorial service at the Faubourg d’Amiens Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Arras on Sunday, where they will lay a wreath and place poppy crosses on graves. The service will be led by the Right Rev Dr Russell Barr, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and the band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland will also conduct a Beating Retreat in the Place des Heros in the evening.
The Battle of Arras took place between April 9 and May 15, 1917, and was part of a planned offensive by British and French forces.
The average daily casualty rate was 4,076, higher than at the Somme or the Third Battle of Ypres, and a total of 159,000 soldiers lost their lives.
