Steven Fotheringham turned up at the Larbert site on Tuesday afternoon to dish out hundreds of ice cream tubs and cones to grateful NHS and healthcare workers.

Steven, pictured above with daughter Ellis Fotheringham, who runs Fotheringham ice cream vans and Igloo ice cream parlours, which has branches throughout Central Scotland, said he was happy to supply the sweet treats to all the staff who have been working so hard during the coronavirus pandemic.
