Little Lewis Whitelaw has a memorable birthday after making his appearance this week.
The 7lb 7oz tot was born at Dumfries Infirmary on 22.2.22.
The date, a five-digit palindrome meaning it reads the same way backwards as forwards, is believed to be a particularly good day for new beginnings.
It is so unique that there will not be another one for 200 years.
And the fact it was a Tuesday has had some people branding it Twosday.
Thrilled mum and dad Lyndsey and Craig Whitelaw were able to take Lewis home to Troqueer to meet six-year-old big brother Frazer the following day.
Lyndsey, 34, said: “It’s a really special date to have had Lewis and we’re all delighted.
“Hopefully it means he’ll be lucky in life but all we can ask for is that he’s happy and healthy.”
