“For a lot of communities, the games is the only event for the whole town. There’s people who get quite emotional about it. It’s about coming home – and coming together.” scotsman.com/heritage-and-r…

We're proud to have donated to Connor Davidson's campaign to improve the play park in Bellabeg. He's a real credit to the community. Read the full story by Dawn Renton in this week's Deeside Piper or online at deesidepiper.co.uk/news/people/lo…

This weekend I should be at Lonach and I’m pretty sad that I’m not, for the second year. I’ve been every year for the past 10 years and if you haven’t been, you need to go next year. There’s lots that goes on throughout the year, but the gathering kicks off with this.

It’s then up to the hall for a ceilidh and a dance. And this is my favourite bit. After a full day of consuming drams, whoever is left from the highlanders and the band make their entrance to the hall. Some years it is 20, this year it was about six.

So that’s the story of Lonach, and slainte mhath to everyone feeling a bit sad about it this weekend. There are many more stories, but you’ll just have to go to find out for yourself.
