Glasgow's Christmas events will take place this year, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Glasgow Loves Christmas organisers Glasgow Life have said that events will be "similar but a little different" this festive season, with many events still going ahead.
However, they confirmed that the Christmas lights switch-on and fireworks display will be cancelled in order to maintain social distancing.
A spokesman for Glasgow Loves Christmas said: “Glasgow’s Christmas events will be similar but a little different this year because of the continuing impact of Covid-19. There will still be much for people to love and enjoy as part of a visit to the city for a special Christmas occasion with George Square still a magical place to be under the Christmas lights and tree next to the crib.
"We are aiming to safely deliver more activities in the heart of the city and in Glasgow’s communities which will meet emerging guidance and will announce details soon. Social distancing means the annual fireworks display and Christmas Lights switch-on can’t take place."
It is not currently clear whether the Christmas market will go ahead as planned, however the Edinburgh Christmas Market has been cancelled for this year.
