THE BIRTH: Lochlyn decided to arrive six days early while his dad was still in Shetland working. Luckily he managed to get the first flight to Edinburgh and arrived home at 10am in time to take Kerry to hospital.

THE BABY: Kerry describes her baby son as “so jolly”, adding he rarely cries. However, he likes to see everything that goes on and isn’t too keen on sleeping.

THE NAME: The couple wanted a Scottish name but couldn’t agree on one until he was born and they decided Lochlyn suited him perfectly.

THE GRANDPARENTS: Lochlyn is a fourth grandchild for Maureen McDonald of Airth and Malcolm McDonald of Larbert, and a third grandson for Morag and Jim McGeechan of Greenock.

THANKS: Thanks to both grannies for all their help and support.
