Highland Games brings out crowds and even the sun!
Following a procession through the town, crowds gathered in the park for the Highland Games, with the usual events taking place including the pipes and drums competition, heavy events, Highland dancing, athletics, shinty, wrestling and the 10k road race. As well as the large crowds, even the sun turned out on the big day.
