Tree-mendous night in Tulloch

-

The community of Tulloch came together recently to celebrate the lead up to Christmas with the switch on of lights on the Perth neighbourh­ood’s first-ever community Christmas tree in Tulloch Square.

The event, which drew around 200 locals, was organised by the Tulloch Community Group in partnershi­p with Tulloch’s Bloomin Lade Group, Tulloch Primary School, Tulloch NET and Perth North Church.

Cash support came from a Perth and Kinross Council funding stream.

The large crowd that gathered was entertaine­d by the Tulloch NET Singing Group, the Tulloch Primary School Choir and some musicians from Perth Grammar School.

Hot drinks and mince pies, provided by the local Co-op, were enjoyed, while the lights were switched on by St Johnstone star Murray Davidson.

The highlight for many was the visit of Santa, who made his entrance in a fire engine, courtesy of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Those who came expressed delight on social media afterwards.

One person wrote: “Brilliant night, hope this is the start of things to come.

“It is so nice to see the community coming together and what a turn out. Thanks to all who organised this, looking forward to the next get together.”
