Happy lockdown birthday

With the country in another lockdown, people will be unable to celebrate birthdays with friends and family as they normally would. To help make their day a little more special, the Courier would like to give a shout-out to those celebrating a lockdown birthday, including these birthday boys and girls. Let us know about your friend or family member’s lockdown birthday and we will give them a shout-out too. Email a photograph to editor@campbeltowncourier.co.uk, including their full name, age, where they are from and a bit about how they celebrated or plan to celebrate.
