West Lothian teen off school with a sore head had a 'golf ball-sized' brain tumour

The family of a West Lothian teenage boy who thought he was 'at it' when he asked to stay off school were left shocked after he was given a brain tumour diagnosis.

For two years, Callum Scott, 13, was plagued by sore heads in the morning and said it felt like his skull 'was going to burst'. But it wasn't until the teenager, from Livingston told his family in February 2022 that he could only see colour from one eye that they decided to take him to an optician.
