‘Caged’ Christmas tree tweets again

A Christmas tree which acquired fame and its own Twitter account after it was “caged” last year has started tweeting again from its new home.

This year the tree in the Shawlands area of Glasgow has been “freed” and moved from a traffic island to a spot outside The Granary pub.

It now has a white picket fence instead of the metal barriers that drew criticism in 2016.

Locals felt the fencing marred the festive spirit last year, with some saying the tree looked “caged” and others branding it “hideous”.
