Premature Scots babies have defied the odds by thriving through the years to enjoy their first day at school.
A number of children have been celebrated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde as the health board shared images of the tots - from back when they entered the world - to the day they officially became primary pupils.
Many of the babies were patients at the Neonatal Unit at the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC) in Glasgow.
Images show the infants in hospital just days after they were born, while their families could only hope they would overcome their medical challenges.
But the wee ones proved they are little fighters, beginning their journey into education as their milestone was marked by the celebratory pictures.
Mandy Meechan, Chief Nurse for Paediatrics, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: “It feels like yesterday that we were caring for many of these children, and it is amazing to see all of them pull on their uniforms for the first time to start their first day of school.
"Parents are always delighted to share their ‘first day’ photographs to also express their gratitude to the team and the hospital. We love to hear about these family milestones.”
Janice Heggie, Lead Nurse for Neonates, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: “Every year we need to have the tissues ready when parents send us their ‘then and now’ photographs of kids starting their first day of school.
:We create such a special bond with the babies and the families when they are in our care, and it means so much to us that they loop back to share how well things are going.
"We wish all our babies the best of luck at school.”
