The events will once again be spread around various venues in the village with Bothwell Primary School serving as main arena for the Saturday and Sunday activities.

The highlight of the festival is of course the Grand Scarecrow Parade on Sunday, September 3, and of course there will be the usual red hot competition to find the best scarecrows - which for this year can also be entered by a street, part of a street, or any community group.

There’s up to date information on the festival on its website at www.bothwellscarecrowfestival.co.uk/ and on Facebook.
