Scotland generated a record amount of electricity from green energy sources last year, according to new figures.
Renewable power projects produced a total of just over 17,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity in 2013, a rise of 16.4% on the previous year.
That means about 46.5% of Scotland’s energy needs came from sources such as wind or hydro power.
The data was released by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
