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.
