Thousands lined the streets of Dunfermline's town centre for 2017's Children's Gala. 

As the oldest Gala in Scotland the event got a lot of attention from tourists and our reporter Gemma who was in amongst the action even met some folks from America. 

There was some great costumes in the crowd and everyone was quite amused when the hungry caterpillar actually looked like it was about to gobble a few spectators up! 

There was lots of chanting and singing and generally just a lot of fun! 

It was the first Gala for the Press' Gemma and it was definitely her hightlight of the year since moving to Scotland.
