A great crowd pleaser as always are the heavy events which consist of many varied disciplines of strength and skill.

The highland dancing is another very popular attraction as the dancers perform their intricate moves to the sound of the pipes.Dancers from all over the world are competing this year.

You will find at the top end of the field the lone pipers competing in the Pibroch and Strathspey and Reel all hoping to please the judges.

Also on display are the athletes, young and old running sprints and middle distance races. The kids events are not to be missed.

On the athletics front,the Creag Dhubh hill race is a must to watch with runners competing from all over the country.

Meet Van Coo: the curly-haired bull missing part of his ear, just like his namesake! In 2021 he wandered into the creative imagination of local artist Joanna Wilson. Here he was joined by other creatures of the Cairngorms before finding form in the expressive mixed media for which Joanna is best known.

An award-winning artist of international acclaim, Joanna grew up among these glens before work and study took her far and wide, from the Hayward Gallery and the Albert Hall to Yale University. Coming home to set up her studio in Grantown-on-Spey reconnected her with her Highland roots. This limited edition of originals and prints represents a unique opportunity to own a lighthearted example of her work that celebrates this land and its inhabitants.

A solo exhibition of Joanna’s abstract figurative work can be found in the O P E N S P A C E gallery.

Come along and see our NEW Contemporary Art Gallery In Grantown-on-Spey.
