Evelyn Dyce, a resident at Balhousie Lisden care home in Kirriemuir, was unable to attend her grandson’s wedding earlier this month because of Covid-19 restrictions.

Not wanting his grandmother to miss out on such a special day, the groom, Ewan Dyce from Kirriemuir, and his bride, Rachel, brought a little bit of the wedding to her with a special window visit on their way to the venue.

The happy couple visited Evelyn separately on their way to their wedding at Kinkell Byre in St Andrews on January 7, making sure they didn’t see each other before the ceremony.
