EAST Renfrewshire's MP found herself with strum-thing different on her hands when she held surgeries in Neilston.

In a novel change from the usual business, Kirsten Oswald was given an impromptu ukulele lesson by members of Neilston Strings.

She was between surgeries at Millview Care Home and The Bank when she popped in to meet the group at one of their bi-weekly practices in the Killoch Bar.

Ms Oswald said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Neilston Strings. While I was not expecting to join in, I had a great lesson, taught with kindness and patience.”
