Dingwall woman Lyndsey Fraser finished second in the 2019 Highland Cross on her first outing at the competition.
Fraser finished in a time of 4:03:15, around two and a half minutes behind the women’s winner, Jill Stephen.
The 32-year-old has moved away from the United Kingdom, but decided to take part in the Highland Cross as she was back in the area for a few months.

“I’ve lived away for about eight years,” Fraser explained.
“I’m a PE teacher, so I’ve taught in Germany, Korea, Thailand, but I’m home for a few months in the summer because my little baby just turned one.
