Andrew MacTavish was handed the inaugural Kaya-Imaani Chambers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Meng Civil and Environmental Engineering by professors.

Glasgow's Strathclyde University has given out the first award in memory of a tragic Glasgow teen who died after complaining of stomach pain.

However, just weeks later she was back at hospital and was found to have irregularities in her blood - which was later discovered to be cancer following tests. Donna told Glasgow Live: "Professor Vernon Phoenix from Glasgow University contacted us not long after Kaya passed away to pass on his condolences and tell us that the Engineering Faculty would be creating an award in Kaya's name and giving it out to a student every year in her memory.
