Leading conservation charity, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, is celebrating after reaching 10,000 followers on Twitter.

The Trust's Twitter account, @ScotWildlife, allows members and supporters to keep up-to-date with all the latest news, events and activities right across Scotland.

As the Trust approaches its 50th year, it is hoped that this figure will continue to rise, as the charity becomes even more actively involved in the world of social media.
