A family have thanked big-hearted Scots who kept them alive by donating blood after three generations all received life saving transfusions.

Little Isabella Mackay, who will celebrate her first Christmas after being given emergency blood when she was born, has become the latest to be saved by the vital treatment.The youngster, who is just 10-months-old, has followed her gran Donna Webster, 61, and mum Lauren Webster, 35, who both also have donors to thank for saving their lives.

The family wouldn't be here without these transfusions and they are urging Scots to give "the perfect gift of life" this Christmas by donating their own blood.Donna, from Blairgowrie in Perth and Kinross, said: “We have three happy and healthy generations in our family, all thanks to blood donors.

Looking forward to Isabella's first Christmas this year is particularly poignant.“We'd like to remind donors that your gift keeps on giving for many years - or in our case many generations.
