Pop-up Christmas tree shop returns to new town centre location in Kirkcaldy

The countdown to the festive season got underway with the news that On Cloud Pine is set to move into the Town Square from Saturday, November 25 until Wednesday, December 20, selling trees sourced and delivered from plantations in Fife and the Highlands. It was last in the Lang Toun in 2021, operating out of the car park at the foot of Coal Wynd and proved to be a hit with local households looking to add a tree to their rooms.

The company’s founder, John Wilkie, was born and raised in Kirkcaldy. He is an opera director now working at the likes of The Royal Opera House and Scottish Opera and, like many working in the performing arts, he needed an extra source of income whilst building this career.

He worked as a project manager for other Christmas tree companies in London before setting up On Cloud Pine in 2020.

He said: “We all look forward to bringing an easy and reliable Christmas tree service to the people of Fife this festive season. The team and I are again looking forward to helping Fifers choose their perfect Christmas tree.”

Mr wilkie said that, from the outset, On Cloud Pine’s goal has been to create a brand with a real focus on sustainability.

“Our trees arrive fresh directly from the growers, who prioritise minimal use of approved pesticides and fertilisers,” he added. “It is important that our customers know that their tree comes from a sustainable supply chain, and every tree that we sell comes with a unique code that gives the customer information about the journey of their tree. “

Trees on sale will range from two to eight feet in height and can be taken away by customers, or delivered to their homes. If you order online before December you can also take advantage of a 10% discount using the code EARLYELF10 at checkout.
