A set of twins from Calderwood have helped fight back against vandals at a popular beauty spot.
Glen Esk Pocket Park is a new public green space in East Kilbride created with the Scottish Government Vacant and Derelict Land Fund.
Fairy grottos started to appear in the wooded areas which became magical spaces to explore.
Recently residents were saddened to find that many of the fairy features had been broken.
But not to be put off, four-year-old twins Orla and Aidan McCann set about building new fairy doors and furniture and placing them in the park.
Mum, Lynsey, said: “Orla and Aidan loved drawing and creating things since they started nursery.
“Glen Esk became a bit of a haven for us during lockdown so we were all really disappointed to discover things placed there like fairy doors had been broken.
“It was then we decided to make more as it really is such a shame people can’t just leave things be and feel the need to destroy them.”
The park opened in December and since then has become a favourite with locals who love the native planting, habitat creation and artwork.
The area featured in Beat The Street events and videos, raising the profile of the park and attracting more visitors.
Residents have been delighted with the thoughtful St Leonards Nursery pupils and Beat The Street organisers have sent them a Beattie The Hedgehog each as a thank you.
