11,500 Yellow Ducks

Hundreds of people ventured out on the hotest May Day on record for the annual Rotary Duck Race, 11,500 ducks were sold for the event - and all decended into the River Rae to float their way to the finishing post...

A first engagement for the town's new Mayor, Councillor Neil Hopkins (pictured).

Over £12,000 will have been raised for local good causes. A final total will be annunced shortly.
