BMX track back in use

Thanks to Gurn Riverside reporter Murd for this image of the bairns back on the BMX track. During his campaigning for this area to be cut Murd tells the Gurn he was asked: "Well does anyone use it?". 

Not so easy for the young ones to use a track covered in weeds and undergrowth as high as the average person suggests Murd.

Hugely significant news from the east - Cove 1 Nairn 2

In the nineteen years that Cove Rangers have been in the Highland League Nairn County have not beaten them at their Allan Park ground once - that is up until the 17th of August 2013, it all changed today. Today Conor Gethins and Andy Neill both both scored to secure a massive win for thee Wee County through at the Champion's home ground. The action included Calum saving a penalty and a red card for Robbie.

This win is the perfect news to round off another sun drenched games day in Nairn. It's also the perfect lift after losing the opening games against Fraserburgh and Brora. Details of the game are available on the Nairn County Twitter page here.

Congratulations to Saint Ninian too - following result seen on twitter in the Grill League cup: Glentanar 2-4 Nairn st Ninian.

Have a good games day Gurnshire

It's a little overcast  as the early morning team make the final preparations to ensure the arena is ready for the competitors and the crowds. Behind the bandstand a beer tent is also being prepared - not an inflatable one this time round so no explosive drama this year. Have a great one folks!

Nairn rooftop trees and shrubs No 3 - The Elm

This young elm looks quite attractive against the background of the blue temporary roof surface, nearby a couple of pigeons are going about their business. 

Nairn rooftop trees and shrubs - No 2 the Birch

Enjoying the wonderful Nairnshire summer weather today this splendid Silver Birch. Hard to be certain but it looked to be 6-7ft high and in excellent condition. Are there any that can beat this? Send the Gurn an image if you think you have a record breaker or a picture any other tree or shrub making the most of life on the rooftops.
