Large crowds turned out on Monday to enjoy Burntisland Highland Games.
It was the 371st staging of the event – making it the second-oldest Highland Games in the world.
The games kicked off with the exiles reception, where former residents joined the Royal Burgh of Burntisland Community Council at the Burgh Chambers.
A parade – led by the Burntisland and District Pipe Band – followed before honorary chieftain, Carole-Anne Crossan, officially opened the games.
Events included highland dancing, piping, cycling and running, and the annual Binn Race saw runners tackling a gruelling route up Binn Hill.
Our photographer Kim Cessford was there to capture the day’s best moments.
