Callum Macritchie is presented with his prize by Scots celebrity, Michelle McManus  

Jenni Henderson, of QMS said: “The competition is a chance for Scottish schools to show off the imagination and creativity of their pupils in developing a new burger product.

“It’s great to see young people being inspired by Scotland’s larder and making use of the flavour and quality of ingredients we have available on our doorstep and the standard of this year’s entries was excellent.

“The ‘My Town, My Burger’ theme clearly struck a chord with the youngsters and we received almost 250 entries with a huge variety of original ideas.”
