Nursery schools will be using a theme for their day, with children attending dressed in red, blue or tartan.

Education staff from Tayside House and Educational Services will be taking part in a dress down day and will be holding a number of other fundraising events.

Meanwhile, Woodlands Dance Orchestra is holding an evening of music and dance on Sunday. Tickets for the concert, at the Woodlands Hotel, Broughty Ferry, are not required, with appeal donations to be taken at the door.
