First year student Daniel Johnstone has been awarded the Higgs Prize for Physics for 2016.

The Higgs Prize was established by the Scottish Government in recognition of the impact Nobel Physics Prize winner Professor Higgs’ theoretical work has had on modern day particle physics. Its purpose is to reward and inspire Scotland’s best young school physicists and is awarded on merit to a male and female pupil from a publicly-funded school who have shown outstanding performance in the Advanced Higher Physics exam.
