Sircus skills?published at 15:00 British Summer Time 4 July 2014
This morning we wondered which tartans were being worn by Aviemore baton bearers Rex Sircus (left) and Mike Dixon.

Robert Sircus (surely a relation) has skilfully provided the answer.
He tweeted: "Rex Sircus wearing 'Hebridean Heather' and Mike Dixon wearing his mother's tartan 'Clan Macgillivray'"
Thanks for clearing that up Robert, and for giving us the opportunity to use a really bad pun.

Puppy lovepublished at 14:28 British Summer Time 4 July 2014
Nine-week-old puppy Mocha got a close-up look at the baton before it left Blair Atholl.

There's not been many things to take the attention away from the baton but we reckon Mocha might have just managed it.

Huge excitement from the crowds in Pitlochry. Lots of people are running down the streets to catch as much of the action as they can.
Those that haven't ventured outside are watching from their windows.

On our way!published at 13:24 British Summer Time 4 July 2014
The baton has started off it's journey into Blair Atholl. The rain looks set to hold off for a bit longer...lets keep our fingers crossed it stays away.
Did you know?published at 13:06 British Summer Time 4 July 2014

It's 100 lines and a punishment exercise for me, I'm afraid.
Earlier, I stated that Aviemore's Jamie Trinder was today's first kilted baton bearer.
Our roving reporter Graham Stewart has corrected me and provided photographic evidence to boot.
I was quite clearly still half asleep when first baton bearer Andy Cameron kicked things off.
It's quiz time!published at 12:11 British Summer Time 4 July 2014
