AS the festive season begins, Buckie's firefighters are gearing up for their annual Christmas street collection.
This year, the firefighters will take to the streets of Buckie, Findochty, and Portgordon from December 12 - 22, with a festively decorated fire engine and plenty of collection buckets.
Last year, the team raised an impressive £8060 as a result of the support from the community, with all money from the collection benefitting both local causes and the Firefighters' Charity.
The collection, which has become a staple of the community, is set to run in the evenings from 6:30pm.
The collection schedule is: Tuesday, December 12: Portgordon, Gt Western Road, Main Street
Wednesday, December 13: Buckpool South (Netherha Road, Letterfourie Road, Ewining Crescent, Seafield Circle, etc.)
Thursday, December 14: Buckpool North (Barhill Road, St. Peter's Road, St. Pauls Street, Land Street, etc.)
Friday, December 15: Buckpool West/Central (Alba Road, Smirack Road, West Church Street, Gordon Street, etc.)
Tuesday, December 19: Findochty
Wednesday, December 20: Portessie/Rathven
Thursday, December 21: Buckie East (Well Road, Milton Drive, Douglas Crescent, Mill Crescent, etc.)
Friday, December 22: Buckie South (Archibald Grove, Whispering Meadows, Work Way, High Street, Highfield Road, Steinbeck Road, etc.)
