LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC TORCH TOUR AT BLAIR CASTLE

 


Local Olympic curler, Eve Muirhead came along to the Blair Castle International Horse Trials and Country Fair yesterday to enjoy some of the action and pay a visit to the Bank of Scotland London 2012 Olympic Torch Tour.


The Tour has been around England and Wales and is now visiting 14 communities across Scotland encouraging people to nominate candidates for running with the Olympic flame when it arrives in the UK next May.


Eve, who represented Great Britain at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010 lives locally and is a regular visitor to the Horse Trials and Country Fair and yesterday she met up with event director Alec Lochore, who also has an Olympic connection as he has been appointed eventing manager for London 2012.
