The entire village of Lamlash came alive last Saturday as a celebratory procession made its way along the shorefront in an extravaganza that culminated in the crowing of Jessica Reid as this year’s Heather Queen.
Joining the procession was outgoing queen Millie Young who, along with her best friend Jessica, sat atop a float being led by Isle of Arran Pipe Band and various other floats, fans and followers who marched along the street clapping and cheering as the queen went by. The procession, which started at the Lamlash clock tower, culminated at Arran High School where the crowning ceremony took place and where a carnival atmosphere was evident, with rides and amusements and food being available to the large crowd of excitable children and adults that attended the many stalls at the event.
