Queen and attendants chosen for 2023 Lairg Gala and Lairg Crofters show
A QUEEN has been chosen for the 2023 Lairg Gala and Lairg Crofters Show.
Local girl Emma Macrae who is working at Ankerville Nurseries towards a qualification in early years education, will preside over both events.
The two organisations take turns each year to choose a queen and this year it was the turn of the Crofters Show.
A "Crofters Coronation Special" was held at Lairg Community Centre on May 6 at which this year's queen was announced.
Emma will be accompanied at the gala by attendants Kalli Robertson and Archie Thomson who both attend Lairg nursery; and at the show by Katie Dick and Annastacia Gailkowska.
The gala runs from Saturday to Saturday, July 8-15; and the Crofters Show is on Saturday, August 26.
Steven MacLean, of Lairg Gala, said the programme for the gala would be available in local shops within the coming weeks.
He said: "We have a fun-packed programme organised with activities ranging from a pub quiz, pool and darts and a treasure hunt to It's a Knockout and kids sports.
"We'll also have performances by the Ann Dickson band and the 136 band as well as the Singing Kettle."
