THE inspirational role played by brothers who have dramatically raised the profile of an Easter Ross town was marked in style at the weekend.
A street celebration for strongman brothers Tom and Luke Stoltman saw locals in Invergordon turn out in force for an afternoon of fun and celebration.
Tom has twice won World’s Strongest Man titles while Luke picked up a Europe’s Strongest Man title and has previously won the Scottish title multiple times.
The dynamic duo, who have spoken of wanting to create a legacy for their hometown, are even celebrated in welcome signs at entrances to Invergordon.
South Lodge Primary head David Hayes-MacLeod, who helped organise the event, said: “They are our boys” and hailed not just their powerhouse performances but willingness to speak openly on subjects ranging from autism to mental health. He told the crowd: “Let nothing limit your dreams and goals.”
He said how proud their late mother Sheila would have been “of the men you have grown into”.
Tom said later: “Thanks to everyone for this. An amazing day for ourselves and Invergordon.”
