A Scottish toddler with a rare genetic disorder that makes her “allergic” to the sun can finally play at home without the curtains closed thanks to UV-resistant film installed at her home last month.

Two-year-old Mollie Murray, of Montrose, is the only child in the UK known to have her specific variant of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), making her skin extremely sensitive to ultraviolet light.
