Part of a migrant camp in France has been named Scotland Street in honour of the volunteer who built it.
Those living in the Calais “Jungle”, which houses refugees, have dedicated a section of it to Myles Bancroft, from Dundee.
Myles, 30, works 18-hour days to try to help improve lives at the camp.
The dwellings he built from pallets have been insulated with old duvets for lagging, and given over to the camp’s most vulnerable residents, usually women and children.
He built life-saving accommodation as part of his work with Glasgow-based organisation, Safer.
He said: “A group of Eritrean girls came up with the name.
“I’m loath to call them houses because they’re just four walls, a roof and a floor, insulated with duvets.”
But the warm protection has been credited with saving countless people from having to sleep in the freezing mud.
The Dundee University graduate previously travelled the world working as a golf course greenkeeper until he was struck down with testicular cancer.
He came through an operation and nine weeks of chemotherapy and, after beating the disease, vowed to devote his life to helping others.
After volunteering with Dundee Refugee Support, he travelled to the squalid tent city in the north of France last October.
In just six days he and his team helped build 14 shelters to house families which French charity L’Auberge des Migrants was most worried about, including Eritreans, Ethiopians and Sudanese refugees.
But the volunteers were three huts short by the time they came to leave, so Myles agreed to stay an extra week to get them done.
He said: “Many of them have travelled for a number of years before ending up in Calais, which is not the best place to be, but they’re lovely people, we were very thankful for their help.”
Miles is desperate to buy more tools and materials.
