Having been postponed from 25th August because of bad weather, the Annual Kirkcudbright Rotary Club Duck Race was held on Sunday 8 September, being the delayed last event of the Summer.
2000 ducks swam up river towards the Bridge watched by an expectant crowd of adults and children, who were keen to hear who had won the valuable prizes on offer. The weather was kind and everyone enjoyed the event.
The first and second prize winners came from Dumfries & Galloway with the third placed being won by a visitor from Newcastle.
The proceeds of the event will be distributed by the Rotary Club to various local and international charitable causes, so the event has once again been a great success.
The Rotary Club are very grateful to all who participated with a special thanks going to the Sea Cadets without whose help the event would not be possible.
