A loved-up couple are set to enjoy a special Valentine's Day celebration - after nearly 70 years of marriage. Archie Kirkland, 93 and wife Martha, 91, first met in London in the early 1950s through a mutual friend and began dating before tying the knot in May 1955.
The pair have been inseparable since, rarely spending a day apart, and in 1964, they moved to the south of Glasgow, where Archie grew up. After almost 70 years married, the couple are well in sync, with Archie helping Martha with her mobility and Martha always reminding him what to do next.
And they said the secret to a long and happy marriage is being there for each other every day. They will celebrate their 68th Valentine's Day as a married couple next week at Meallmore Group's Mearns House, Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire.
