In pictures: Newtown’s Christmas lights switch-on

Newtown is once again lighting the way to Christmas as the first community in the Borders to switch on its festive lights.

More than 100 residents paraded from Milestone Garden Centre to the village tree in front of Scottish Borders Council’s headquarters on Sunday to see that happen...and amongst them was out photographer Bill McBurnie.
