Their arrival had followed the procession of Santa and his elves from Cameron Square, with the two winners of our colouring competition joining Santa for the journey! A selection of the entries appears below. Pipers and the Ben Nevis All Stars led the way.

The Buskers’ Corner was again well supported, concluding for the first time with the Lochaber Strathspey & Reel Society.
Thanks again are due to Ferguson Transport and Shipping, the Lochaber Times, Highland Council, Lochaber Housing Association Property Services, Police Scotland, BEAR Scotland and Robert Wilson.
