Fizzy drink consumption amongst Scottish secondary school children has fallen dramatically, according to a World Health Organisation survey.
The same study carried out a decade ago suggested Scottish youngsters drank more fizzy juice than their peers in most other European countries.
Now the number of 11 to 15-year-old girls drinking fizzy drinks every day has halved.
Consumption has also halved in 11 and 13-year-old boys.
