A BORDERS dad has used his home security system to capture a festive video for his son featuring a special guest.

For the last two years, Jamie Murray has caught the real Santa Claus paying him a visit before Christmas Day.

"I wanted to do something nice for my son [Oliver]," said Jamie, a paediatric physiotherapy training instructor for NHS Borders.

The videos of Santa were taken on Jamie's Ring Spotlight camera.

After downloading the footage from the camera, Jamie showed the video to his five-year-old son, Oliver.

"He thought it was brilliant," Jamie said. "He was so keen to tell people he'd seen Santa."

This will be the third year that Santa has paid the Murrays a visit.

For Christmas, Jamie and his family would normally visit parents and other relatives but due to coronavirus restrictions, they will be limited to who they can see.

"It will be a very different one this year," he said.

"Oliver's just started school so he's been kept busy.

"He's excited for Christmas.

"With everything that's going on, the video reminded us how fun and magical Christmas will be."
