Kind-hearted family hang clothes from Squiggly Bridge for homeless people in Glasgow

Sometimes, Glasgow, you lot do things that make us stop in our tracks.

And this random act of Christmas kindness is a tale to bring joy to even the coldest of hearts.

If you've taken a walk over the Squiggly Bridge today, you may have noticed a few pieces of warm clothes hanging from the railings.

But if you'd went by there last night, you'd have seen the route laden with coats, jackets, jumpers and other essential items such as water, free for anyone who needed them.

Kind-hearted Mark David Holmes and his family were behind the gesture, in a bid to do something for the homeless community and the vulnerable who deserve a helping hand.

Street fundraiser Mark, from Inchinnan, joined forces with his son, mum and pal around 8pm last night to line the bridge with warm clothes.

He told Glasgow Live: "l did this as a family thing as Christmas was always about giving especially to those that don't have.

"l never like going past anyone that's out there and hate seeing people walk past the homeless like they don't exist.

"It was also nice to show my son what a difference four people can make to other people's lives."

Mark and his family collected donations from other relatives, friends and anyone who wanted to help out.

He added: "We did notice on our return to the bridge that others had already begun to add more and bottles of water.

"I'm so glad to hear the stuff has been picked up."
