John, said: ““As with many, my regular work as a theatre director has been affected by COVID, so last year I set up this exciting new venture, building upon over a decade’s experience in the Christmas tree industry.
“As a local, I am thrilled to be bringing On Cloud Pine to my hometown.
“The team and I are looking forward to providing a sustainable, easy and reliable Christmas tree service to the people of Kirkcaldy and Fife, along with UK wide deliveries this festive season.”

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.
