The company, run by Kirkcaldy man John Wilkie, was set up in 2020 to offer work to individuals who were suffering due to the pandemic, including those from the arts sector which was left in limbo throughout lockdown as all venues closed.

After a successful first season, On Cloud Pine is now coming to John’s home town, running from Thursday, November 25 until December 20.

Its trees - ranging in height from three to 12 feet - will arrive fresh directly from the growers, who prioritise minimal use of approved pesticides and fertilisers.

Every tree sold comes with a unique code that gives all their customers information about its journey.

On Cloud Pine will be selling freshly cut Nordmann and Fraser Firs, and a variety of living pot grown trees.

The spacious outdoor store will have one way systems in place, protective screens at checkout, a contactless payment system, PPE will be worn by staff at all times and there will be enhanced cleaning.

The pop-up store will operate Monday to Sunday from 8.30am to 6.30pm.

There will be a chance for customers to win a Christmas tree during this festive season.
