Funding helps Fife group creative innovative festive trail

Falkland Stewardship Trust has received £6750 from the National Lottery Community Fund to create a family friendly festive trail through the woods on Falkland Estate.

Opening on December 5, the woods will come alive with the sights and sounds of Christmas, lighting up the area and providing fun clues for children to follow as they listen out for Santa and his sleigh bells.

Families will also be able to visit a small craft shop and gallery.

Open until the beginning of January, the trail - which will observe social distancing rules - starts at the Forest of Falkland car park off the A912 and ends at the Stables building on Falkland’s Estate.
