The quaich, Scotland’s cup of friendship, used throughout the centuries to offer welcoming drink at Clan Gatherings, and other family occasions, and to friends and visitors.

Badenoch Angling Association members gathered at the weekend for their official opening of their fishing season on the River Spey.

Anglers and guests were piped to the river by Mr John Mackintosh and presentations, eats & drinks were enjoyed by all at the Newtonmore Grill.
