Commenting, Junior Games organiser David Geddes said: “This Saturday the Braemar Junior Games is back after a three-year absence.
“It’s free to attend and a great family day out. There is packed programme of piping, dancing, races, tug o’ war and opportunities to come-and-try some of the traditional events — all under the watchful eye of expert instructors.
“On Saturday night, we’ll round off a great day with a family ceilidh in Braemar Village Hall — with instructions for kids and novices and a refresher course for those who haven’t had their dancing shoes on in a while.”
He added: “We’re looking forward to a great weekend!”
