Parents at hospitals around Scotland have welcomed the first new babies of 2015.

The first baby to arrive was in Glasgow, where Lucas King was born just after the bells at 00:02 at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital.

Lucas’ mum Ashley said: “It’s really nice to have had him at this time, especially as he was due on the 27th, so we didn’t expect it.” Proud dad Mark said his new 7lb 3oz boy is ‘a wee cracker’.

Lucas was followed soon after by another Lucas – this time in the Highlands. Lucas Brown was born at 00:20.

Reagan Brown arrived at 2am at St John’s in Livingston and at 02:22 Nicole Gemmell gave birth to Kasie-Leigh at Forth Valley Royal in Larbert.

Dylan Gault from Aberdeen made his debut at 04:55 and Mason Marshall was the first 2015 baby delivered at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary two hours later.
