North-east town to host egg-stra special event this Easter
The Duchess of Fife
A north-east town is treating local communities with a special event this Easter.
A series of hand-decorated eggs have been created by 12 north-east artists and placed around Chapelton, ready for residents and local visitors to find.
A map of the Easter egg hunt can be seen in Hume Square in the centre of the town or downloaded from the Chapelton website.
The eggs will be ready to find from Saturday, April 3 to Sunday, April 18. And following the event, will be auctioned with all proceeds being donated to Grampian Autistic Society.

Autism campaigners in the north-east have supported calls for concrete action on the “startling” issues facing Scots with autism and learning disabilities.
Edward Fowler, advocate for charity ASK Autism North East, said families in Aberdeen are “crying out for support”, describing a situation where parents are close to “having nervous breakdowns” over the lack of assistance.
It comes after Aberdeenshire West MSP Alexander Burnett won support for a members’ debate in the Scottish Parliament on the need for further support for those with autism and learning disabilities.
