A Balloch grandmother welcomed a US widow to her home town after meeting by accident when a misdirected email sparked a friendship that saw the women support each other through the pandemic.
Alice McLean, 75, connected with 83-year-old Barbara Jelniker, from Colorado, after Barbara decided to send an email to someone called Alicia thanking her for an act of kindness shown to her brother.
But Barbara missed a letter from the email address, directing her message 4,400miles across the Atlantic Ocean to Alice in Balloch.
