BACK home after something of a dairy 'coup' at the Royal Highland Show last week is Adam Lawson, of North Cassingray, Largoward.
The new chair of the Scottish Association of Young Farmers' Clubs, found time from his whirl of official duties at the show to share in some home-grown success.
Basil Lawson and Sons' home-bred second calver, Lisnamulligan Princess Anne 2nd, won the Dairy Shorthorn Championship.
It was the first time the family - who relocated from Northern Ireland - had won at the Ingliston show.
They milk 30 Dairy Shorthorns, alongside 100 British Frisians.
Adam told the Citizen: "We also had a first in the Dairy Shorthorn class with one of our home-bred calves.
''Most of our team was home-bred. We had seven dairy cattle in the championship."
On the future of farming, Adam said the atmosphere at the show among young farmers had been: "quite positive."
All the Young Farmers' events had been very well supported.
