Freuchie Parish Church in Fife, like many across Scotland, holds an annual gift service each Christmas. Gifts were brought in by members of the congregation and local community and will be donated to a local charity to help ensure that more children have a gift to open on Christmas Day. Pictured: session clerk Margaret Cuthbert, the Rev Ian Hamilton and members of the congregation (Maureen, Babs, Ailsa and Rhona) with some of the many presents that were collected.
