University of Edinburgh students have rejected calls for all student association venues to go vegan by 2027.

Plant-Based Universities (PBU) Edinburgh campaigners put the motion forward in an effort to fight climate change and use more local produce.

But only 19% of the 812 students who voted were in favour of the plans.

Stirling University students' union became the first in the UK to ban meat and dairy products from its campus outlets in November.

The union has committed to serving only plant-based food by 2025.
