It’s a busy week for the Bonnybridge Gala Day committee with their latest fundraising drives.

With a little help from Auto Doctor, the team are currently embarking on their annual Santa run.

Santa began his tour of the local streets on Monday night and will be visiting areas nightly until Friday.
