Emily’s big day at Murrayfield

PORT William schoolgirl Emily Cleer had the time of her life last Saturday when she was one of the mascots for the Scotland rugby team.
The rugby mad 11-year-old also came home with a very unusual souvenir of the day - the socks that had been worn by Max Evans during the Calcutta Cup game against England!
Another thrill for young Emily was having a chat with Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond, who spoke to the mascots while they were waiting in tunnel before the game.
After the game, which Scotland lost 13-6, all the mascots had the opportunity to meet some of the players and get some autographs and photos.
