Two Ross-shire primary schools were crowned champions at this year’s Baillie Cup.

Around 800 pupils from 33 different schools gathered at Queens Park in Inverness this week for one of the biggest primary school athletics events in the UK, with over 100 individual medals handed out.

Returning to Queens Park from the Bught due to upgrades being made this summer, the competitors were split into a morning and afternoon group, and then divided into two sections again.

It was in the morning that Ross-shire youngsters got to the top of the podium, with North Kessock triumphant in Section Three and Culbokie taking top spot in Section Four.
