After a two year absence Kelso’s Laddie is back.

Callum Davidson was appointed to the role at a ceremony in the town’s Tait Hall last night, Friday, April 15.

He told those in attendance: “As long as I can remember Civic Week has been something I’ve always looked forward to every year. It’s a time where the town pulls together and as we have not been able to have a proper one for a couple of years I have no doubt this year’s going to be one of the biggest and best.

"But for these events to go-ahead it wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of the committee and helpers who always work hard to ensure its success.”
