Barra youngster thrilled to win Lapland trip  

18 November 2016

Comghall MacLeod from Barra is heading to Lapland this winter after winning a Christmas card competition.

His parents and three siblings - Ruairidh, Aoife and Iagan - are joining him on the trip awarded by the nurses’ union, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).

The children’s competition marked the RCN’s centenary year.

Comghall, aged nine, said: “I looked on the computer to see what nurses looked like 100 years ago so that I could draw one.

“Mam said that men couldn't be nurses in the olden days so I wanted to draw one because men and women can be nurses now.”

He said he was really happy to get to see Santa Claus.
