Edinburgh schools: First day back in pictures

With the schools back open, we reached out to get your snaps of children on their first day back.

The morning bell has rung and playgrounds are full of happy screeches as Edinburgh schools open their doors again today after five months of lockdown.

We asked you for your pictures of excited children as they prepare to either return to class, or start school for the first time..

We were inundated with amazing pictures from proud family and guardians and here are a selection of them.

The Edinburgh Evening News wishes everyone back at school today the best of luck, have an amazing time.
