The three-day festival Taste of Nairn returned for its fourth installment at the weekend.

Running from Friday (May 10) to Sunday (May 12), the event – organised by Nairn BID – brought together thousands of locals and tourists to celebrate the town’s thriving food and drink scene.

Like previous years, there was a jam-packed programme for festivalgoers, featuring an artisanal market, cookery demonstrations, tastings, a showstopper bake competition (sponsored by thriving Nairn business Makes by Megs), and more.

Nearly 100 businesses participated this year. They included The Vegan Skinhead, The New Denver, Rose Cottage Country Kitchen, Kilted Fudge Company, and The Moray Honey Company, to name a few.

Taste of Nairn is also home of the World Tattie Scone Contest, supported by Oakwood Cookery School.

Tracy Chalmers, from Keith, was crowned the winner with her wild flower honey and Arran mustard creation.
