A team of Army Cadets from the Highlands has returned home after placing a creditable third in a Military Skills Competition.
Eight Cadets (pictured, above) from 1st Battalion The Highlanders Army Cadet Force took part in the annual Scottish Cadet Military Skills Competition, held from 15-17 September at the Barry Buddon Training Area near Dundee.
The competition saw the Highlanders compete against thirteen other teams from Army Cadet Force (ACF) and Combined Cadet Force (CCF) units from across Scotland. The teams were put through their paces in a series of stands, ranging from First Aid scenarios to Patrol Skills and Shooting.
