In pictures: Innerleithen sparkles at annual Switched on Sunday event

The countdown to Christmas got under way in stunning style in Innerleithen yesterday thanks to the Switched on Innerleithen group’s efforts.

Hundreds of townsfolk lined the main street for Santa’s arrival and then to see dux girl Grace Turnbull, dux boy Aaron Glendinning and lantern bearer Struan Coltman turn on the festive lights, and that’s after a day of musical entertainment in the town...our photographer Bill McBurnie was there to capture all the action.
