Pictured: More than 300 runners took part in the Great Scottish Tattie Run at Silverknowes

More than 300 runners of all ages took part in the Great Scottish Tattie Run at Silverknowes yesterday. 

Adult competitors ran for a mile carrying either a 10kg or 20kg. There was various other runs for kids to take part in.

Ahead of the day event organiser Terry Crossley, of Great Scottish Events, said: “There is nothing quite like The Great Scottish Tattie Run and we hope the people of Edinburgh will come along to take part or just to cheer on the runners.

“Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Branston, race entry is free and participants can also take home their 10kg or 20kg bag of tatties, and for younger runners they will have great fun in the Spud & Spoon race.

“After an absence of three years due to Covid restrictions, we are delighted to be back at wonderful Silverknowes and hope we can establish The Great Scottish Tattie Run as a not-to-be-missed fun family annual event.”
