CHILDREN from Tollcross Primary are set to kickstart the festive season when they switch on the area's Christmas lights next week.

The event, at High Riggs, Tollcross, will begin with a selection of music from James Gillespie's Brass Quartet and Pipe Band.

After the Christmas tree lights have been switched on, the primary school's Gaelic choir will sing a selection of festive songs and carols.

The event is due to take place at 6pm, Thursday 29th November.

The event is organised by Tollcross Community Council [3] and sponsored by the Tollcross Traders Association [4].
