Kilchoan Pram Race - Pictures

Youngest competitors, Katie Carmichael and Ellie Walker, storm past The Ferry Stores, showing the older competitors how the race should be run.

Others, too excited about being offered a drink, momentarily lost the plot, with near-catastrophic results. Morag McNicol, pushing, Jane McNicol, falling.

Emperor Chris Gane takes the applause at the end of the race while slave and wife Amanda does all the hard work - nothing new there. These two won the laurels for the oldest competitors.

Race winners Lauren and Angus Gane show off their mean machine as they take the tape at the end of the race.

Winners of the Best Fancy Dress award Hazel MacLeod (pushing) and Karen MacFarlane (enjoying) come up to the finishing line.

A race for the finish between Geoff Campbell and Dave Burgess (right) who won Best Pram award, and Jamie Santus and Richard van de Peer, who beat them to the line.

Some £500 was collected towards repairs to the Kilchoan Jetty. Alasdair MacColl, WAJA's Chairman, expressed his sincere thanks to the competitors, spectators and, in particular, to race organisers Cliff Isherwood and Richard O'Connor.

Full results are here.
