A primary school is asking young children attending its classes if they are transgender or gay.
Merkinch Primary School in Inverness is quizzing its pupils aged between five and 12 in an equality and diversity survey.
The poll - which has been savaged by a number of campaigners - asks if the children how they identify.
It also asks the youngsters if they have ever laughed or been unkind to someone because they are gay or transgender.
