THE Aberlour Strathspey Highland Games has been cancelled amid coronavirus fears.
The Games were scheduled to take place in August but, with the coronavirus pandemic looming, the committee made the decision to cancel early.
The cancellation means there will be no Highland Games anywhere across Moray in 2020.
A statement from the committee said: "It is with deep regret and disappointment that the committee has made the decision to cancel the 2020 Aberlour Strathspey Highland Games.
"Although there is the possibility that the coronavirus outbreak may be subsiding by August, there is an inescapable risk to the health of our community and supporters should this not be so. Our priorities to everyone's wellbeing must therefore dictate our action.
"The 77th running of the Aberlour Strathspey Highland Games will now take place on August 7, 2021."
