He said: "Brora Rangers have invited us to sell ducks on October 8, when they have a match against Brechin City."

There are cash prizes for the duck race winners as well as consolation prizes. The race winner will take home £200 with runner-up prize £100 and £50 for third-placed.

Free hot dogs and treats will be on offer at the harbour finish line.
