Thousands of people turned out for Aberdeen’s Highland Games today.
Basking in sunshine, spectators of all ages turned out to watch the traditional heavyweight and athletic competitions, as well as the famous tug o’war and tossing the caber spectacles.
For younger visitors to Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen there was an array of entertainment on offer, including a climbing wall and face painting.
Our photographer Kenny Elrick captured some of the best moments of this year’s games.
