A schoolgirl determined to protect her mum from Coronavirus is making her own facemasks.
Inventive Anna McGladrigan, 10, fashioned kitchen roll and bobbles together in a desperate attempt to ward off infection.
It comes after the COVID-19 outbreak forced The Scottish Government to put the country into lock down as the death total continues to rise - including 16 people in Scotland.
The young Bathgate girl decided to take things into her own hands after hearing her mother on the phone saying her work didn’t have any masks.
Mum, Sarah McGladrigan, 37, was blown away by the sweet gesture when Anna handed over the mask.
Sarah said: “I had phoned my mum to let her know how my day had went and Anna was listening in background.
“She was obviously thinking about me and made one.
“I thought it was so lovely. She’s only ten and worried about her mum.
"It was really sweet.
“I’m not worried about not having masks in work yet. We will get them when we need them - but to a ten year old it might sound worrying.”
Sarah was impressed with the product and beamed over Anna’s creativity.
The proud mum said: “She made it from a kitchen roll, in a fan shape, then stapled the bobbles to it which go over your ears. It’s pretty good.
“She must have read about it somewhere. She did a good job.”
