Over
200 runners ran - internationalists, shinty players and holidaymakers
included.
Some even entered the relays
and track events in the Highland Games afterwards (and were comprehensively
beaten by young speed merchants). It was a warm day and the river proved
popular at the end. The photos are
not in any particular order! |
