In pictures: Christmas carols ring out across Melrose

Around 200 Melrose residents enjoyed a festive parade through town on Saturday night as the town celebrated being lit up for Christmas.

As ever, Santa was on hand to meet children, carols were sung by the tree, Melrose Pipe Band entertained the crowds...and our photographer Brian Sutherland was on hand to capture all the fun.
