Jemma's pic earns top national award for volunteer
An Armadale volunteer has picked up a national award after taking a photograph of a West Lothian street.
Jemma Boyle entered her snapshot in the Living Streets competition for a picture of a local street on one day of the year.
Jemma, who works daily as a volunteer at Voluntary Sector Gateway, in Bathgate, was one of just two national winners.
Ironically, she was a last-minute entrant in the digital photography class through which she entered the competition. When Jemma saw the workman sitting down she thought it was a great pose for a photo. In her spare time she likes going shopping and hanging out with her friends, and watching TV. She also loves Lady Gaga.
