A Stewartfield dad was celebrating last week – or should that be recovering – after completing the Boston Marathon.
Robert Haig was cheered on by his family as he ran the famous race in a personal best of 3 hours 28 minutes on April 15.
This was the 39-year-old finance manager’s second marathon, having completed the Stirling race in 2017.
And he is already contemplating his third marathon in Vermont – next month.

His beaming wife, Kay, told the East Kilbride News : “My kids and I are so proud of him.
“He got in a personal best of 3hrs 28mins on Monday in 70 degree weather.
“We are from Stewartfield but are currently in Boston working.
“We came over two years ago for my job with Primark – it’s two years and counting, but we will be returning to EK in August this year permanently.”
Robert and Kay celebrated his achievement with their 12-year-old daughter, Jessica, and 10-year-old son, Alex.
