Morrison Construction has announced its sponsorship of the Christmas in Queensferry celebrations, due to be held on 28 November.

The festive celebration is run by a committee of volunteers and has been a major event in the community for more than a decade.

The 'switching on' of the Christmas lights down High Street will take place during the night.

Morrison Construction is currently building the £40m Queensferry High School, which is due to be completed in Spring 2020.
