The World's Strongest Man has been presented with a quaich from Highland Council to commemorate his incredible win in the USA last week.
Tom Stoltman (27), who took first place in the World's Strongest Man competition, was joined by fellow competitor, brother Luke (36) in the HMS Natal Memorial Garden in their home town of Invergordon to receive the award.
The brothers were recognised by councillors Maxine Smith and Fiona Robertson on behalf of fellow Cromarty Firth councillors and the Highland Council for all their achievements.
The brothers had travelled to Sacremento in the USA for the competition, with Tom taking first place, and brother Luke achieving seventh place in the hotly contested finals.
Cllr Smith said: "Up early this morning to present the Stoltman brothers with engraved friendship quaichs from the Highland Council.
"Well deserved - a small token due to Covid. After the pandemic we will do more. A few community groups are hoping to organise a street party when Covid allows, towards the Autumn.
"Presenting the quaichs today were Cllr Fiona Robertson, Easter Ross area chairman and myself on behalf of Cromarty Firth ward councillors.
"It was a true honour to do this, especially in the Natal Memorial Garden."
She added: "Well done boys - keep it up."
