The house with the 24,000 light Christmas display

For the past four years, Gary and Anna Gray have spent their entire year preparing for Christmas.

Since December 2020, the pair have transformed their West Lothian home into a high-tech Christmas light show which contains more than 24,000 lights and about 150 props, such as a large LED Christmas tree, candy canes and angel wings.

They are all linked up to Gary's laptop and synchronised to light up in time with the music.

The display takes 10 months of planning and six weeks to build and across the month of December hundreds of people gather to watch the Gray's display.

It has become known as the "Armadale illuminations".

Over the past four years they have raised thousands of pounds for Cancer Research, the British Heart Foundation and local charity, the Armadale Shed.

This year they are fundraising for Alzheimer's Scotland, in memory of Anna's grandmother, who had dementia.

2024 will be the final year the couple organise the light show.
