Christmas preparations with the Great Glen rangers

Young folk are being urged to bring a parent or relative and drop into Fort Augustus Memorial Hall from 10:30am till 2:30pm where they can join the Rangers and make Christmas wreaths and cards.

Lynda Dodd, Great Glen Way Manager said: "Christmas decorations made from natural materials not only look beautiful but are recyclable. Much of the traditions of Christmas have been passed down through the generations and we hope to inspire and instil ideas that will bring some festive cheer to the community."

This event is part of a programme of activities organised by the Great Glen Way Rangers throughout then year.
