A 10-year-old pupil's winning flag design is now flying high at the entrance to a new housing development.
Chloe from Dargavel Primary School designed the flag for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland’s Dargavel View site in Bishopton as part of a competition for Primary 5 pupils.
The competition invited pupils to design a welcoming flag for the development, with Chloe’s winning entry now flying proudly at the site.
As a reward for her winning design, Chloe received a £50 book voucher and also got the chance to visit the site to see her colourful creation on display.
Five additional entries were also chosen to feature on signage at the development, with each pupil receiving a £15 book voucher.

Louise Chisholm, depute head teacher at Dargavel Primary, said: "Taking part in the Taylor Wimpey competition to design a flag for their Dargavel View housing development was an exciting opportunity for our Primary 5 classes to be involved in.
"The children enjoyed tackling their brief to create a bold and colourful design, and I understand the judges found it hard to choose a winner due to the high standard of entries.
"The flag looks great, and the banner is so colourful too.
"Together they showcase the hard work and artistic talent of our children and create a lovely connection between our school and the local Taylor Wimpey development."
