Easter Ross ploughing match brings out best at Mounteagle Farm
A MISTY start to the day presented a challenge for Easter Ross Ploughing Match contestants in the setting of Mounteagle Farm at Fearn.
The early morning mist made it difficult to set out guide poles in line but ploughmen soon got into the swing as the weather cleared mid-morning.
Many of the competitors attending the match, hosted by kind permission of Douglas and Hilarie Russell, had been ploughing at the Scottish Championship and events in Caithness over the last two weeks resulting in a very high standard in all classes.
