WALKERBURN'S Summer Festival is now underway and continues until Sunday, June 29.

Walkerburn Festival Lass Skye Houston and Essay Winner Rosie Mitchell are leading the festivities and villagers are turning out to show their support.

President Brian Lees said: “ All the work has been done, now it is up to everyone to enjoy the week. The weather’s looking good at the moment, and is supposed to stay kind to us.” The Festival committee welcomes any offers of help, just an hour or two at any of the events would be much appreciated.
