The Sean Connery Foundation has awarded grants to four grants worth £1million in total to help young people in Scotland develop the skills to break into the film and TV industry.
Speaking on behalf of the foundation and the family on a visit to Scotland, the late 007 star's actor son Jason Connery said they hoped to "help dreams come true" for talented young Scottish actors.
Jason, 60, was joined by his wife Fiona, as well as Sir Sean's step-son Stephane Connery and his wife Tania along with their son Dashiell – who has also followed in his grandfather's footsteps to star in Hollywood movies.
