Great art from Badenoch's great youngsters
The young winners of the Badenoch Great Place Great Art competition have been confirmed.
The Strathy can now put on record the youngsters who took the honours after the recent open event in Kingussie’s Iona Gallery.
The competition, part of the Badenoch Great Place project, was organised on the project’s behalf by the Society of Badenoch and Strathspey Artists.
There were separate competitions for adults, High School and Primary School students.

During September the winning and commended works will tour community venues in Newtonmore, Laggan, Dalwhinnie and Kincraig.
