Junior members of Kinross Parish Church worked individually at home during the Coronavirus Covid-19 lockdown to create a huge rainbow which is displayed in the church windows as part of the Easter celebrations.

The Rev Alan Reid, minister at Kinross said: “There is hope! Well done and thank you to everyone who took part.”
