Tractors and trucks on the run for Christmas

Dumfries and Galloway Standard

November 21, 2025

The fifth annual Lockerbie Christmas Tractor and Truck Run, supporting the neonatal ward at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, takes place tomorrow.

- SHARON LIPTROTT

Hundreds of illuminated tractors and trucks will snake their way from Lockerbie to the hospital via Lochmaben and Torthorwald to Dumfries and then back via Locharbriggs and Johnstonebridge.

The amazing fundraising marathon has raised thousands of pounds for the unit since 2020 when Ryan Muir and his wife Becky, of Johnstonebridge, were inspired to help the ward where their daughter and niece were cared for when they were born prematurely.
