Whatever happened to the Haddo babies?

Whatever happened to the Haddo babies?

With the 80th anniversary of VE Day less than a week away, Jackie heads to Aberdeenshire to find out more about the Haddo babies: the more than 1,250 children born at Haddo House when it became an emergency maternity unit during the Second World War.

Discover how the stately home was transformed into a makeshift hospital, and what happened to those babies after the war.

Jackie sits down with visitor services supervisor Claire Russell and Haddo baby Jean Glately to discuss the history of the house, the realities of converting it into a maternity ward, and the story of Jean and her mother.
