Parents across the UK are celebrating the best Christmas Day present they could possibly hope for - a newborn baby.
What was possibly the first child born on Christmas Day arrived in Scotland at 12.39am, not even an hour into the big day.
Baby Robyn weighed in at 7lb 8oz when she was born to Nicola and Calum Lawson at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
The first newborn in Scotland's capital came just over two hours later after Robyn at 2.44am
Selena was born at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary to over the moon parents Nadejda Bulgaru, 25, and Stefan Dobroviceanu, 31.
The new addition to their family weighed 7lb 4oz, according to hospital staff.
Joining Robyn and Selena as 2022’s Christmas babies, Chloe McKee gave birth to son Rio at 3.16am who weighed in the heaviest of the trio at 8lb 11oz at Princess Royal Maternity Unit in Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
On the same ward, Emma Dolan’s daughter Bailey was born just under two hours later, weighing 5lb 13oz.
Alex Currie added to this year’s cohort of Christmas babies, born at 4.32am at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital to mum Margaret and dad Daniel.
At University Hospital Wishaw (UHW) they welcomed their first festive baby at 6:05am today.
Parents Roopa and Seben Devassia received a present the couple will never forget, but are yet to decide on the boy’s name.
The hospital saw another two Christmas babies as just an hour and a half later another boy, also yet to be named, was born to parents Kirsten Moore and Dean Patterson, weighing 8lb and 2oz.
Parents Jennifer Brown and Declan Mcmeekin also welcomed a baby boy at UHW at 9.24am who weighed 6lb 15oz.
