The marquees are up and excitement is building as Rogart prepares for gala weekend

There is an exciting line-up of activities for Rogart Gala which kicks off tomorrow evening and runs through the weekend.

Events start with a car treasure hunt from 6.30pm on Thursday. Entry fee is £5 per car.

A fancy dress parade is being held at Corry Meadow from 6pm on Friday followed by fancy dress football and live music.

Anyone wishing to enter a team into the fancy dress football should message Rogart Gala via its Facebook page.

Team members should be of high school age and must include one girl.

There will also be a barbeque, beer tent and ice-cream van as well as inflatables to keep the younger generation occupied.

Saturday sees a family fun day at Corry Meadow with a "royal crowning", performances from Sutherland Caledonian Pipe Band and Buttons and Bows along with heavy events and kids' sports.

Entries to the industrial tent should be made between 10am and 11am.

And the gala holds its first ever marquee dance with Ezra playing on Saturday from 9pm at Corry Meadow.
