Lanarkshire carollers bring Christmas cheer to shoppers as nursery kids steal the show

Children from Stonelaw Preschool helped to spread Christmas cheer as they sang to locals picking up last minute presents.

The children sang their hearts out at Rutherglen Exchange, belting out carols in an effort to raise money for the nursery.

The carols were part of the nursery's month of Christmas celebrations, which have already included a sponsored Santa dash, nativity play and Christmas lunch.

Kirsty Torrance from the nursery told Lanarkshire Live: “We were delighted to meet local people at the Exchange and show the results of the singing practice we’ve been doing with the children over the last couple of weeks.

“We work hard to engage with the local community through outdoor activities like litter-picking and our partnership with the community gardens at Grow 73, so it was wonderful to be able to visit."

And all their hard work paid off, with children from the Stonelaw Church-based nursery raising close to £100.

They also received a special Christmas present from Stephen Burns, manager of The Works in Rutherglen Exchange, who provided each child with a book from the store.

Rutherglen Exchange manager, Jane Cowan, told us: “It was great to welcome children from Stonelaw Preschool to do some carolling and we were very happy to host them.

"It definitely brought some smiles to the faces of visitors and we’d love to have them back again next year.”
