Crowds in their thousands flocked to the Black Isle showgrounds near Muir of Ord today for TruckNess 2023.

The annual event was touted by organisers as the biggest event ever staged by TruckNess in the Highlands – and the turnout did not disappoint.

Celebrating the contribution made by men and women working in the haulage industry across the region, the event had a number of 'spectacular' vehicles on display, complimented by a wealth of stalls forming part of MFR's Cash for Kids fundraiser.

The Inverness Courier captured several moments from today's show.
