The Moy Country Fair returned following a two-year break and featured a wide range of activities to entice a new broader audience.

Despite the unpredictable weather, hundreds arrived at the muddy Moy Estate on the banks of Loch Moy, for all things country.

Activities like fishing, archery, clay pigeon shooting and terrier racing entertained the crowds.

Throughout the event’s 40-year history, organisers have highlighted local producers from the region.

This year included a food theatre where talented chefs showed off their culinary skills.

It’s the first time many are displaying at the Moy Country Fair, given the event’s cancellation in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid.

However, some are happy to be back and showcase their brands and products to a more diverse crowd than in previous years.

These included Riverside Jewellry, Kinrara Distillery, Timberness, Inverness Fudge, The Coorie Company and Joa Toa.

Our photographer Sandy McCook was there to take photographs of the event.
