PUPILS from across the globe have been visiting Mackie’s of Scotland’s farm in rural Aberdeenshire thanks to new technology.

Using the immersive Google Expeditions app, kindergarten students in Indianapolis have been filmed learning about Mackie’s Westertown farm – from 3700 miles across the Atlantic.

The virtual reality technology allows pupils to explore and learn about the production of Mackie’s ice cream and chocolate in its factories and its use of renewable energy.
