HUNDREDS of people got together in Ardersier for its popular gala and car show.

The sunny weekend saw around 1400 people attend the community party, with 80 classic cars on show.

Organiser John Ross said: "It was an amazing weekend.

"One of the highlights was Acari Comedy Hypnotist – it was such a great act and everyone enjoyed it. On Saturday night we had our gala dance with VH5 playing, they were really good!

Highly Commended Awards went to Alix Carmichael from Muir of Ord with his sweetly restored VW Beetle and also to David Pettit from Nairn and his lovely Ford Cortina MK3 1600GT.

Mr Ross added: "We really can't thank enough all the sponsors, we wouldn't be able to run the event without them.

"Thanks to everyone who attended and we look forward to welcome everyone back again in 2024!".
