A Kinross-shire woman who was trapped at home by snow when she went into labour has thanked farmers and midwives who battled through to help her.
Ashleigh Lisa was cut off in her house at Balgedie near Kinross when she went into labour overnight into Friday.
Off-duty midwives offered to help and were taken to the house by tractor after local farmers responded to a plea on social media
Ashleigh had a baby boy at home after the midwives arrived just in time.
Mother and the 10lb 4oz were then taken to hospital.
Ashleigh posted a message on Facebook: “Wow! I am absolutely blown away by you all! What an incredible community we live in!
“Baby boy is here safe and sound after a terrifying home birth which was only possible thanks to you all.
“Thank you to our amazing neighbours, friends, midwives, ambulance and police services who walked, dug and ploughed their way to us.”
Emma Niven, whose husband Rob was one of the first to get involved with his tractor, told the BBC: “It’s just been the most magical morning.
“An emergency message went out on Facebook looking for midwives for our neighbour who was in the late stages of labour and was stuck.
“We just couldn’t get her out and nobody could get to her so we got the tractors out and negotiated a couple of midwives and brought them to her just in time at a critical stage where the baby’s head was actually stuck.
“So all has turned out well but oh my goodness what a morning.”
