LANGHOLM teenagers Emily Hislop and Jessica Kenny were in good festive spirits last Saturday when Santa Claus came to town.
He and his reindeer dropped by to help locals and visitors celebrate the switching-on of the Christmas lights, including on the magnificent tree donated by Buccleuch Estates.
There were lots of activities for people to enjoy, including a food festival with MasterChef finalist Jilly McCord, entertainers, music and, of course, Santa’s Grotto.
It was hailed a great success. For more photos turn to pages 11 to 14.
