Highland Hollywood actress Karen Gillan has shared a first picture of her new baby daughter – and her sweet-sounding name.
The Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Who and Jumanji superstar took to Instagram to post two pictures of her and US comedian husband Nick Kocher with little Clementine.
The former Kinmylies Primary and Charleston Academy pupil (37) was holding Clementine and beaming with pride in one picture, while also appearing with Nick in another mischievous snap holding ‘Best Mum Ever’ and ‘Best Dad Ever’ mugs.

Karen wrote on Instagram: “2024 – thank you for giving us Clementine.”
She added: “Also… I shot a film called ‘Let’s Have Kids’ right as I got preggo in real life so take that Daniel Day Lewis.”
That was a reference to Day Lewis’s tendency to immerse himself in roles through method acting.
