More than 70 drivers took part in the annual TrA8tors EUAnite memorial run in Assynt last Saturday.

The event is held in memory of Culkein native Euan MacRae who sadly died in 2017, aged just 19.

Since it was started in 2018, it has raised thousands of pounds for Macmillan Cancer Support in the Highlands.

Run organiser James Morrison said it had been a “brilliant day” and went on to thank everyone who had helped in any way. The total amount raised will be made known shortly.
