The boating pond at Millbank in Thurso was the setting for the annual treasure hunt held by the Caithness branch of Enable, the charity for people with learning disabilities.
Favourable weather helped make it another success, with members, carers and helpers attending in great numbers from all around the county.
This year’s theme was garden flowers. The treasure hunt was organised by Enable committee members Barbara Haywood and Lydia Fensome, who set up some 21 clues.
Enable branch chairman Willie Mackay said: “This was a really good night for our learning disabled and their carers with lots of excitement, beautiful surroundings, super clues and a great attendance.”
