A book bought by the languages department at Hermitage Academy in Helensburgh has turned out to be one in a million.

For the Higher German study guide was the millionth book sold by Bright Red Publishing in Edinburgh.

As a result, the school won a hamper filled with goodies and books to be shared by the staff.

Gordon Urquhart, principal teacher modern languages at Hermitage, said: “As a department, we are absolutely delighted to have won the hamper and are really pleased with the quality of the books we have bought from Bright Red as well as the access to the company's online digital zone.

"We look forward to ordering more books from Bright Red in the future.”

Twice winner of UK Educational Publisher of the Year award, Bright Red is adding to its current list of 60 guides with a range of new course books for the Broad General Education and revised National Qualifications.

It is also expanding its online digital zone and developing a new assessment prototype in conjunction with Professor Bill Buchanan OBE at Edinburgh Napier University, using Scottish Enterprise SMART: Scotland grant funding.
