Sandra Booth and husband Steven have transformed their South Land Street home into a Halloween extravaganza, full of ghosts, ghouls, witches, wizards and other strange creatures.

All donations will go to support the work of the nurses and medical teams at the Rubislaw ward at the maternity hospital at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Sadly, Sandra's son and his girlfriend, who was five months pregnant, lost their baby girl Freya earlier this year.

"The nurses were wonderful and couldn't do enough for them," said Sandra.

Sandra and Steven have done Halloween and Christmas displays the last few years to raise money for various charities, including The Teddy Bear Group, Suicide Awareness and the Buckie Community Shop.

"Seeing the kids outside staring at the dislay and the expressions on their faces makes my day," added Sandra.
