A South Side nursery has announced it will change its name following widespread confusion over its location. 

Langside Nursery School is located within the same building at Battlefield Primary School. 

Parents and staff agreed the name caused confusion as it implied it was co-located with Langside Primary School. 

The community has been consulted on a new name and it is now awaiting approval from the city administration committee to be renamed Carmichael Nursery.

Families and staff alike were asked to propose names to the executive director of the committee, with three names agreed to be added to a ballot. 

Carmichael Nursery won over White Cart Nursery by 15 votes, with Ivy Grove Nursery garnering the least amount of votes. 

The new name relates to the address of the nursery, which is located in Carmichael Place.

It is said to be named after Mary Carmichael, one of four ladies-in-waiting for Mary Queen of Scots.
