Jenners enlists rugby club to help erect tree
IT was a job executed with near military planning and manpower as Jenners' 40ft Christmas tree was hoisted into place over the weekend.
The Norwegian tree arrived from the Buccleuch Estate, in the Borders, by police escort on Saturday evening before being pulled into the Grande Hall by the burly kilted men of Ross High Rugby Club.
Jenners staff had to remove the revolving door from the South St David Street entrance to get the massive tree into the store.
Children from Edinburgh Sick Kids hospital officially unveiled the tree in all its glory at 1pm yesterday.
