Not everyone was singing in the rain the night the Scottish Monsoon hit Castlemilk but these three intrepid characters was happy. Umbrellas at the ready, they welcomed more than 30 people to an information session which had been scheduled for that evening.

Despite the exceptional rain, plenty of local people were keen to find out about job prospects and training possibilities connected to the building of Ardencraig Care Home. The unique care home is being purpose built by Thistle Healthcare Ltd to accommodate 60 people. They will be grouped in units of 10 and each person will have their own en suite facilities. Four groups who will be cared for at Ardencraig are frail elderly, dementia sufferers, young chronic sick and individuals who have been brain damaged.

Further information about jobs and training opportunities at Ardencraig can be had from Aileen Gordon or Joanne McGee at CEDA telephone 0141 634 1024.

They all braved the downpour so that they could be seen to be singing despite the rain!
