Montrose kicked off the festive season in Angus with a day of weekend family fun.
The High Street was packed with visitors for an afternoon of events organised by Santa Claus in Montrose.
Saturday crowds enjoyed a funfair and stalls ahead of Santa’s arrival.
Local ten-year-old Aria McIntosh was chosen to join Santa for the switch-on of the town display.
The kind-hearted youngster was given the honour after saving up her pocket money to donate £100 to make Christmas special for other children.

Other Angus towns are lining up their switch-ons.
