A village gala day will be given £10,000 towards celebrating its 100th anniversary after councillors declared the event the 'lifeblood' of their communities.
MIdlothian councillor Kelly Drummond brought a Labour group motion asking a meeting of Midlothian's elected members to approve the award for Gorebridge Gala Day as it marks its centenary.
And she received cross party support for the funding as councillors praised the impact of the annual celebrations on residents.
