The tree lights are now on in Carronshore and the community is looking ahead to the festive season.

The annual Christmas light switch on, organised by members of Carronshore Heritage Forum, took place in the village on Friday evening.

Crowds gathered by the tree in Quarrolhall Crescent for the occasion, which saw youngsters from Carronshore Primary entertain with some festive songs.

Local singer songwriter, and previous winner of TV talent show The Voice UK, Craig Eddie did the honours this year of helping the youngsters to press the button and light up the village.

He also took the time to perform for all those gathered.

Dougie Smith was compere for the evening and Santa even stopped by to meet the locals, thanks to Larbert Round Table.

In a post on Facebook, the organisers said: “A heart felt thank you to everyone who attended making it such a fantastic night for the community of Carronshore.”
