Gillian Elliot has been handed the keys to a two-bedroom flat in Elgin where she will be able to live rent-free for six months. It follows an agreement between Moray Council and Springfield Properties in the hope of attracting more teachers to the area.

At one point in 2014, Moray had over 70 teaching vacancies in its 53 schools.
Springfield has placed 10 of its new properties at the council's disposal in what is understood to be the first arrangement of its kind in Scotland.
Springfield chairman Sandy Adam said: "We are delighted to welcome Gillian to Moray and to her new Springfield home. It's good to hear that the number of teachers applying for posts in Moray is rising."
