It’s an annual village event eagerly anticipated by both the children of Ardentinny and the grandkids of those living here. Sadly there will be no children’s Christmas party at the Village Hall this year. Over the years the party has been organised by Anna Williamson and Maryjane Bleachand prior to this by Anna’s Mum Rena (Muir) and Maryjane’s Mum, Lettie Dempster.
We’re grateful to Anna who has provided us with this 54-year-old photo of Ardentinny’s Christmas party from 1966.
