One of the first babies born on Christmas Day in Scotland interrupted her parents’ Christmas Eve movie night after arriving early.

Lisa-Marie Hunt and Gordon Wilson, of Livingston, were just settling down on Tuesday before the little one’s January 2 due date, when she thought to make an early arrival.

Born 6lbs 7oz at 5.16am in St John’s Hospital in Livingston, the pair are yet to decide on a name.

Elsewhere, Alyshia Glen of Bellshill and her partner Daniel McGhee met their daughter for the first time at 1.35am on Christmas Day.

The little one weighed in at 8lbs 6oz at University Hospital Wishaw.

Just minutes later at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow, Emma McLaughlin gave birth to her daughter Kiara Rose at 1.48am.

Kiara tipped the scales at 8lbs 6oz.

While Katarzyna Wojcik delivered her own little girl a few hours later at 4.16am at a weight of 6lbs 5oz.

The bundle of joy’s father is Krisztian Poth.

Lauren Breach also welcomed baby Ollie, weighing just shy of 8lbs, at 7.49am at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.
