Covid rules weren't enough to dampen spirits for one intrepid Santa Clause - who was determined to visit sick children in hospital unable to celebrate at home.
Young patients at the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital were delighted to see Father Christmas sweeping fast their windows on Sunday and spreading festive cheer.
The stunt was led by children's charity the Archie Foundation, who teamed up with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for the second year in a row.
Indoor mixing is not allowed because of the pandemic, so all contact had to take place through a pane of glass.
One poignant image showed a delighted young girl and Father Christmas putting their hands together on the window.
