Are you looking for a unique gift this Mother’s Day?

Well, First Bus could have the perfect idea for you.

Transport bosses have launched a unique campaign to mark the annual occasion, by displaying heartfelt messages on buses across Aberdeen.

Aberdonians looking to shout about how great their mum is can display their mother’s picture alongside a heartfelt message on the side of buses roaming the city.

Graeme Macfarlan, Commercial Director at First Bus Scotland, said the campaign will be a ‘unique chance’ to showcase your appreciation.

He said: “We are thrilled to launch this heartfelt campaign for Mother’s Day, inviting customers from Glasgow and Aberdeen to share what they love about their mums.

“Chocolates and flowers are nice but this is a really unique chance to show your mum how much she means to you and give her something she’ll never forget this Mother’s Day.

The competition invites people to share:

  • The image of their mum to be used.
  • The reasons she’s so loved.
  • A special message to celebrate her.

These could then be displayed in the advertising space on the side of selected buses in the city.

Applicants can enter the competition on the First Bus website.

Entrants have until the close of play on February 24.
