Thank you to everyone who supported the very special Cannon Bawz Run this weekend.
Superheroes and supercars on the Elgin Plainstones.
This year’s rally was poignant for everyone involved as Liam O’Neill – the man who first inspired the annual event – died last month at the age of 38.
A total of 35 cars started in Elgin on Saturday morning.
After hearing a video message from Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart, they set off on a tour of the NC500 route.
Kris O’Neill, Liam’s older brother, said, “We’ve filled the high street with all kinds of vehicles – from supercars to sports cars to classic cars.
“They were all taped and numbered, ready to go on the two-day adventure.
“We were also supported by Batman, Robin, Spider-Man and Police Scotland.

Kris, the paramedic on the rescue flight, added: “Our first stop was Café Tarvies, Garve, where we were treated to a nice breakfast roll and a cup of coffee.
“Then to the Lochcarron Hotel, where we split up into smaller groups to tackle the Bealach na Bà pass to Applecross.
“We stayed there overnight and had an auction of items donated by local businesses.
“There was also live music from Fat King George, and I sang the Foo Fighters’ song ‘My Hero’ for my incredible brother Liam.
“The next day we continued our journey along the breathtaking coastal roads, stopping at Kylesku Bridge, where we enjoyed fireworks during the day.
“The run ended at Dunronbin Castle near Golspie, where we were picked up by a DMC DeLorean car that was the time machine in the Back to The Future films.
“It was the perfect end to a great weekend.
Back to the future at Dunrobin Castle.
“Thank you to all companies and everyone who helped make Cannon Bawz 7 so special for our hero Liam.
“The event raised a huge amount for our charities Marfan Trust and Race Against Dementia.”
