RESIDENTS living in two new housing estates were given a special key to help Santa access their homes on Christmas Eve.

Miller Homes gifted magic keys to families moving into its Carberry Grange in Whitecraig and Winton View in Tranent to help the festive VIP access the newbuilds without chimneys.

Santa’s magic key is a popular tradition with those living in newbuild homes, as these are often built without a chimney.

Instead, children can leave out a magic key for Santa to pay them a visit and leave presents under their tree.

Lynsey Brown, Miller Homes’ regional sales director, said ahead of Christmas: “We’ve had a busy year with our East Lothian developments, and we can’t wait for buyers to experience Christmas in their new home.

“We want to make sure every child on our developments gets a visit from Santa, so we’re giving away magic keys that will ensure no home is left behind on his route.”
