Crowds came from the likes of Oban and Fort William to Valley International Park and witnessed traditional Highland heavy events with strongmen such as 2007 world caber tossing champion Gregor Edmunds.

Gregor was joined by the likes of Royal Braemer champion Bruce Aitken as well as Lanark's own Scot Thompson.

Events included shot putt, hammer throwing and caber tossing as well as traditional strongman events, to thrill the large crowd.

Heavy events judge Hamish Davidson said: "It was a classic show with the very best competitors in the world including Gregor, Scot and Bruce.

"We also had a Canadian discus thrower, who was over here on holiday. Although there were different winners in the individual events, it was Gregor who won overall.

"We have events running all year round with one in Fort William only a few days away."

Despite the great competition it wasn't just a day for the heavy event enthusiasts.

Around 100 Highland dancers took part in a competition along with traditional country dancing with Norman McKays Ceilidh Experience.

Members from Medieval Clydesdale took part in archery and several re-enactments.

A Valley International Park spokesman said: "The event went very well and the weather was definitely with us.

"The place is an ideal venue for such an event and we also had stalls, dancing and other bits and bobs going on throughout the day.

"The guys from Medieval Clydesdale were brilliant.

"Hopefully we will all be back next year to do it all again."
