Farmer Christmas is set to deliver an Angus treat over the festive season.
Three Angus charity tractor runs will take to local roads, aiming to raise a sackful of charity cash.
The events are now firmly established as a seasonal tradition.
And for some youngsters the sight and sound of the tractor convoy has become as much part of the excitement around Christmas as waiting on Santa’s sleigh.
Families love seeing the brightly-lit machines of all sizes.
And the farmers go the extra mile to make sure they are in the running for the prize of the best decorated tractor.
Some participants even brave the road run in vintage tractors without a cab.
Last year almost 150 tractors joined the area’s biggest run, organised by Forfar JAC. It alone raised £5,500.
Here are the dates and timings of the three charity tractor runs taking place in Angus.
