Like a lot of club footballers, I first played Gaelic at under-six level, and now, at the ripe old age of 31, I like to think I'm in my athletic prime. To be fair, I have set the bar pretty low so it could be possible.

Additionally, schools celebrating a milestone are being visited to mark their success.

Barry Fisher, CEO of Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: 'This year we celebrate 30 years of schools making an environmental difference through Eco-Schools. 'It's great that we were able to visit Chatelherault and Hamilton Grammar School to present a certificate of achievement and to hear from the children, young people and educators about their inspiring action and commitment to improving our environment. 'For the past 30 years we have loved hearing about the remarkable achievements of our young people and the development of learning for sustainability across the world, and we look forward to continuing to provide support through our Climate Action Schools framework.'

Historic schoolhouse in Scotland's Unesco Flow Country for sale for £120k
Found in the northeastern tip of Scotland, the home is now part of the Caithness village of Altnabreac, whose name derives from Allt nam Breac or 'stream of the trout' in Gaelic. The village sits within the Flow County, which was awarded World Heritage status by Unesco in 2024 for its 9000-year-old blanket bog landscape. Home to a distinctive mix of bird species, the Flow Country is considered a key example of a blanket bog in the world. READ MORE: Plans submitted to remove 34 turbines from Highland wind farm Altnabreac's schoolhouse closed in 1986 and has been used as a private home ever since. The two-floor residence is built from stone, with a red brick extension that sits under a slate roof. It features two bedrooms, a family room, kitchen, bathroom, storage space, a rear hall and a versatile former schoolroom, and is located within 0.62 acres of grounds that benefit from stores including a generator. The village is served by Altnabreac railway station on the Far North Line which reopened in April. Altnabreac Station first opened in 1874 and the reason for the station's construction is a mystery with it then being around 10 miles from the nearest road. Caithness more broadly is known for its long, sandy beaches and steep cliffs, and is well-loved by birdwatchers and hikers alike.
