Stirling-based manufacturer Superglass has gone straight on to Santa’s nice list after gifting him insulation to make his grotto toastier than ever.

While in residence at his seasonal Christmas cabin at the Woodland Experience in Balfron, Santa will enjoy the cosy new grotto where he will be based throughout chilly December.

Superglass’ sales director, Andy Murray, paid a visit to Santa to deliver the rolls of insulation and to try out as one of his helpers.

Andy said: “It’s a great privilege to meet Santa Claus in person. Every year he brings presents for children around the world, so we thought it was about time that we gave him something back, especially when he’s coming all the way to Scotland.

“The Santa Experience is a family favourite for people from across central Scotland, and we wanted to help keep Santa warm as he meets the children.”

Ken Hendry, owner of the Woodland and Santa Experience, said: “While it’s a little bit warmer than his North Pole base, Santa’s grotto in Balfron can get very cold in December. Thanks to Superglass though, this year will be a welcome break from the chill for Old Saint Nick.”

Superglass provided Multi Roll Loft Insulation to insulate the grotto at North Ballochruin Farm, less than an hour from both Stirling and Glasgow.
