The man who runs Scotland's only Santa School has issued a stark warning that Scots could be facing a national shortage if more people don't enrol to be Saint Nick in 2022.
The caution comes from seasoned Santa helper, Stuart Thompson MBE, from Dumfries and Galloway, who has been running Scotland's official Santa Training School for the past 15-years. Stuart claims he is barely getting anyone enrolling, numbers are dwindling compared to past years and as a result, he is having to turn business away.
The quirky school, set up in 2008, teaches candidates how to become the perfect Scottish Santa - from learning about the history of Santa and Christmas traditions, to voice training, costumes, make-up and role play.
