Young Oscar Smeeton of Brodick and Fraser Edgar of Shiskine patiently await their chance to meet Santa and his elf helper at Bellevue Farm’s Christmas themed farmers’ market. In addition to the shopping stalls and food outlets, visitors also enjoyed a musical performance from Arran Brass Band and for the younger ones the highlight was undoubtedly the visit from Santa who, in true farm style, arrived on a huge tractor with one of his elf helpers. Santa met with the children and accepted donations for Breast Cancer Now in exchange for a Christmas treat and a photograph on his Christmas tractor-sleigh.
