    That's all we've got for today's Queen's Baton Relay Live. It's been another great day on the relay.

    We travelled from Monifieth to Montrose and met a lot of interesting characters along the way.

    Let's do it all again tomorrow.

    The baton will arrive in Aberdeenshire in the morning and will begin the day in Dunnottar Castle, while organisers have announced that Team Scotland swimmer Sara Hamilton will run in her hometown of Stonehaven.

    It will also be carried by members of the public in communities across the area including those in Fraserburgh and Inverurie.

    Read our handy guide to the day and visit the route page to find out where you can see the baton in your area.

    Louise Helyer was the final person to carry the baton in Kirriemuir, and she had the honour of doing so on her birthday.

    The town is famous as the birthplace of Peter Pan writer J. M. Barrie, so I wonder if Louise really has grown one year older.

  17. Watch again?published at 17:16 British Summer Time 28 June 2014

    We've had a few queries about whether you can watch the live stream back on our website.

    Unfortunately, this is not available. However, while the stream is being broadcast on this page you can scroll back to any point of the day to watch it again.

    Very handy if you want a screen grab of a friend or family member holding the baton. But be quick! It will disappear when the live coverage ends.

    Sheena Gordon emailed with a message of support for her dad James Gordon:

    "Loving your coverage. My dad will carry the baton, say big hi to him after 65 years of volunteering to make village of Alford a tourist destination and giving more employment to area."

    James will carry the baton in Huntly on Wednesday and Sheena goes on the say: "This quiet unassuming man deserves this moment. Even though he's a bit frail in body he is as sharp as a tack."

    Meanwhile, Louise Mulholland took to Twitter to say well done to her mum, Moira Nicoll, who had her own musical accompaniment while carrying the baton in Monifieth earlier today:

    "Batonbearer 007 Moira, love the soundtrack from the support crew, external #sportyside #batonrelay"
