Thanks to Stuart who, together with Daisy and Kenny from The MacRobert Trust Horticultural Training Scheme, so expertly judged our Amateur Garden Competition yesterday - never an easy task, I'm sure, with so many diverse and lovely gardens entered! Thanks also to those who shared their gardens with us. However, everyone will have to wait to hear the results - it's a well kept secret until our Tarland Flower Show opens at 2pm on Saturday 8 August.

[UPDATE at 3pm on Friday, 24 July]
âš Smoke from the ongoing wildfire incident within the Cairngorms National Park is travelling over a wide area due to current weather conditions. âš
Residents and businesses in the east area of Aviemore, as well as across parts of Aberdeenshire - including Inverurie, Banchory and Kintore and surrounding areas - and as far as Aberdeen city, may see or smell smoke today and into the weekend.
If you are affected, keep windows and doors closed as a precaution.
The wildfire incident remains dynamic and unpredictable. Changing wind strength and direction can cause flare-ups, reignition and the spread of smoke, with conditions continuing to evolve.
Resources are currently focused on tackling a fire front that has spread into a large area of heather to the east of Ryvoan Bothy and travelling in an easterly direction. This is generating substantial volumes of smoke, reducing visibility in and around Nethy Bridge, and is visible across a wide area, including from the A9. Firefighting operations remain ongoing, supported by helicopter water-bombing and the creation of fire breaks to help contain the fire and prevent further spread.
Firefighters remain deployed to tackling the incident across a vast and complex landscape, supported by ongoing helicopter water-bombing operations. Crews, specialist wildfire resources and partner agencies continue to monitor conditions closely and work to prevent further spread.
Please continue to stay away from the affected areas in the Cairngorms National Park while firefighting operations continue.
