Cortachy Highland Games
A bumper crowd, enthusiastic competitors and glorious weather combined to make Cortachy Highland Games an all-round winner on August 15.
The spectacular riverside setting opposite the Cortachy Castle home of Games Chieftain the Earl of Airlie was bathed in sunshine throughout the afternoon and the friendly atmosphere of the gathering once again helped it strike the perfect balance of fun for visitors and competitive rivalry in the main arena.
In the heavy events, regular names including David Dowson, Bruce Aitken and local Pete Hart fought out the honours.
David Laird of East Memus maintained his proud reputation in the fruit and vegetable sections with the best exhibit in each and the quality of the produce once again helped make the traditional end-of-games auction a big success.
Children's races and the annual dog show were also particularly well supported by locals and visitors to Angus — and the events concluded with the traditional duck race.
