Autumn is very much in the air and pupils from Dalintober Primary School have been embracing the season by taking part in the first apple pressing for a long time.
After harvesting a bumper crop, mostly of the variety known as Katy, from their own allotment the children proceeded to press their apples to make their own juice, thanks to South Kintyre Development Trust which fitted out an old manual press.
Ed Tyler, biodiversity researcher for SKDT, said: "Scotland once grew dozens of varieties of apple. The Clyde Valley orchards once supplied the citizens of Glasgow with fruit.
"The pupils of Dalintober today helped to revive the tradition of apple growing, harvesting and processing. Well done to them!"
Eric Spence, trust manager at SKDT, added: "It was fantastic to see the children outdoors, working together, getting their hands dirty and enjoying the fruits of their labour.
"The freshly pressed apple juice was really tasty too."
Thanks went to Tarbert Healing Garden for the loan of the apple press.
