Pupils from Ayrshire's Annanhill, Galston, Hurlford, Silverwood, Barshare and Ochiltree enjoyed a fun Food and Farming Day at Auchincruive Estate, to find out about the food they eat and where it comes from, courtesy of the Royal Highland Education Trust.

The children enjoyed a variety of activity sessions provided by local farmers and lecturers from the Scottish Agricultural College, making butter and ice cream, grinding grain and touring the farm to get a closer look at dairy cows and calves.

They also tried experimental 'egg magic' and had some tractor fun, which incorporated basic physics activities.

The event was part of a national initiative sponsored by the Scottish Government.
