Thousands of children across Tayside and Fife went back to school this week.

And for many it was extra special, as it was their first day at primary or secondary school.

We asked readers to share the big event with us by submitting their photographs, and they did so in their droves.

Here is a selection of the hundreds of pictures sent in of pupils starting and returning to schools in Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perthshire on Tuesday and Wednesday.

And we will have many, many more in special print supplements in The Courier and Evening Telegraph on Tuesday and Wednesday.
