Children across Scotland returned to school last week, with many starting their education journey for the first time. But pictures shared by one mum of her wee girl's first day last year will be etched in our memories forever.
Stacey McCullagh shared the hilarious snaps of her daughter Lyla, four, before and after her first day at St Mark's Primary in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire last August.

Stacey and her older daughter, Lucy Ann, 17, collected Lyla from her first day of school, who complained of being "so tired" the whole way home. Upon arriving home,
