Pipe bands, vintage vehicles and historical re-enactors were among the highlights of Saturday’s (October 8) programme of events – as well as the traditional roast ox.
The 10-day festival officially kicked off on Friday (October 7), continuing a tradition which can be traced back more than 800 years.
