The visitor centre at Torness Power Station has celebrated its first birthday.

More than 3,000 visitors have gone through its doors since it opened, while it has received a five-star award by VisitScotland.

To celebrate the first birthday, EDF Energy chief executive Vincent de Rivaz paid a visit, along with pupils from East Linton Primary School.

Mr de Rivaz congratulated visitor centre manager Faith Scott and her team of 10 guides on their success, saying: “By welcoming groups from schools, universities and the local area we are helping spread the message that nuclear energy not only provides safe and reliable electricity generation for millions of homes but is also a low carbon solution.” Faith Scott added: “No two days are ever the same in the visitor centre and we welcome anyone who wants to satisfy their curiosity and find out more about nuclear power.”
