I am not a Gaelic speaker but is Nairn not Inbhir Narainn =see your photo of the race

Inbhir Narainn or sometimes with an accent Inbhir Nàrainn is an older form with the use of the genitive. The use of the genitive is in a state of shift and is on its way out in spoken and sometimes written language in some cases. This is often reflected in official translations these days - as in the new sign at the Swimming Pool - image here http://inbhirnarann.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/soidhne-da-chananach-ur-ann-inbhir.html

Great set of fantastic photographs which puts the towns local newspaper to shame.

@ Road Runner, I don't think the local paper could possibly publish over a thousand images.
What they have achieved however is a list of all the competitors and their times in both runs and that was an impressive 495 competitors in total.

Craisg with all due respect I fully understand that the local newspaper is very restricted to space & does not have the facility to publish loads of images & must be congratulated on their results coverage but as there is so much photo opportunities at the 10k I just felt they could have done so much better {none of the childrens race, none of the fun or charity runners,or the touching moments with those in wheelchairs who completed the run,] me thinks its time to write a letter to the editor.
