Light Up Leith
Every December, Leith turns itself into a giant advent calendar.
There's something about a farm shop after dark in December, and Balgove Larder, just outside St Andrews, makes an evening of it with its Christmas Night Market on Tuesday 1 December. Now in its twelfth year, it brings local food and drink producers and makers together with a few new faces, while The Car Boot fills with vintage finds. The Steak Barn has a barbecue going, there's mulled wine and hot chocolate to keep you warm, and children can make Christmas cards from 4pm to 6pm. At 6pm the butchers and chef talk through the Christmas roast, and at 6.30pm Karma Curry shows what to do with the leftovers. The farm shop and butchery stay open all evening, and it's free to go along, from 4pm to 8pm.
