Hundreds of people turned out for the return of the Gordon Castle Highland Games at the weekend.

From the usual heavyweight, piping and dancing competitions to runs, falconry displays, vintage vehicles and the Gordon Setters gathering, there was something for everyone.

There was also a talent show featuring singers, musicians, storytellers and martial arts.

Visitors of all ages enjoyed the sunshine as they took part in the proceedings, while sampling some of the tasty food also on offer.
