On Sunday morning Mary-Anne gave birth to a great big, 9lb highland boy with a shock of red hair. 

Mother and Baby are both well and looking forward to coming home. So here he is; Gilbert (Ghillie) Stephen Thomson.

Not sure how to turn the pic round on my phone, but I can assure you his grandad is not holding him upside down!

Best of luck with the remaining rehearsals, we may even get to visit briefly at some point. 

John, Mary-Anne and Gilbert.
