Christmas lights drawn by children in a Fife village have become a viral hit with millions of views online.
Dozens of festive characters – all designed by the winners of a primary school competition – are lighting up Newburgh.
The “wonky” lights have become a tradition for locals with a new design being added each year.
The designs include a three-legged reindeer, a happy carrot and a dinosaur with a star on its head, along with a Christmas goose added this year by Newburgh Primary pupil Lochlan Aitken, 10.
