(Photograph) - When Nicola Watson became this year's 200th member of Garscube Community Playrooms in Glasgow, the environment may have been new for her 20-month old son, Andrew, but for Nicola it was all very familiar.

Children, parents and playgroup staff from the island of Great Bernera in the Outer Hebrides will no longer have to make a 60-mile round trek to access safe outdoor play, thanks to a newly-built room and play area in a local community centre. Previously, children at the Croileagan Bhearnaraigh Gaelic pre-school were required to make the long journey from Great Bernera to Stornoway - the main town on the Isle of Lewis, to which Great Bernera is joined by bridge - in order to play safely outside, but now the school has managed to secure a room and outdoor play area at the community centre in Breacleit, Great Bernera.
