The school is one of 28 in Scotland where counsellors from children's mental health charity Place2Be, of which the Duchess is a patron, are on hand to support pupils having difficulties.

The Duchess met teachers to discuss the programme after singing along to 'Welcome Everybody' at an assembly where youngsters presented her with a Quaich, a Scottish toasting cup.

She told pupils: "I think everybody should start their morning like that. Have a wonderful day."
