Children from Golspie, Brora and Rogart primary schools took part in a workshop last Saturday as part of an education programme organised by the Battle of Littleferry Project.
The youngsters listened to the story of the historic battle as told by Major General Patrick Marriott.
A series of creative challenges was then held.
Activities on the day included creating shields, making glove puppets, designing coats of arms and drama.
Prizes were awarded to Ollie Mowat for the best coat of arms; Fionn Fraser for the best shield and Donald Barclay for the best puppet.
A spokesperson for the event said: "Many thanks to Judith Macleod and the members of the project team who hosted the workshop and to Go Golspie for the use of the Fountain Road Hall."
The next education event will be held on Thursday, November 17, at the Battle of Littleferry Memorial Stone when 50 oak saplings will be planted by pupils along the old tree line running north-west from the memorial.
