Kirkcaldy man's Christmas tree business returns to home town for 2025 festive season

On Cloud Pine is selling sustainably sourced, premium grade Christmas trees from two locations this year. It is outside in the Town Square Kirkcaldy, and at the Buffalo Farm, Boglily Farm Steading, from Thursday, November 27.

The company was created in 2020 by John Wilkie, who was born and raised in Kirkcaldy. He launched it after working as a project manager for Christmas tree companies in London while building a career as a stage director in the performing arts sector. It has been part of the town’s festive commercial scene for the last few years and has donated trees to people in challenging circumstances, and local charities, raised funds for Kirkcaldy Foodbank, supplied trees to Growing Kirkcaldy for community planting projects, and pledged support to Greener Kirkcaldy initiatives. Unsold stock is used to feed farm animals or is mulched for local playgrounds and public gardens.

This year, it is introducing a collection service after the season ends.

Mr Wilkie said: ““The team is excited to return to Kirkcaldy this festive season, offering a friendly, convenient and reliable Christmas tree service. We’re proud to be building a loyal customer base — it’s a joy to welcome back familiar faces each year, meet new customers, and help everyone find the perfect tree to make their festive celebrations special.

“The Lang Toun has huge potential, and I’m delighted that our business can play a part in the community’s festive activity this year.”
