SOME of the most iconic landmarks in Scotland turned green in a show of support to tackle climate change.

The Kelpies sculpture at the Helix was lit up, while the Usher Hall and Jenners in Edinburgh city centre also went green for 24 hours to back a new Scottish Government campaign to raise awareness of the increasing threat on the environment.

The national campaign, launched this month, encourages Scots to play their part to help fight climate change and follows a recent survey which revealed that around half of people living in Scotland acknowledge climate change is an immediate and urgent problem – and eight in ten could do more to care for the environment.
