Patients at the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital got a special festive surprise courtesy of the local fire service yesterday afternoon, as Santa appeared at their window on a high-rise lift.
The unusual event was organised after it became clear firefighters would not be able to carry out their usual Christmas visit to the hospital.
Restrictions brought in to prevent the spread of Covid have meant only one person is allowed at a patient’s bedside at a time.
But the fire service decided not to call off their visit altogether, instead using their equipment to make sure the kids at the hospital get the treat they deserve after a difficult year.
