North Berwick's Law Race returned for its 70th anniversary with a record turnout as runners scaled the town's famous peak.

Historically one of the most popular hill races in Scotland, the race starts at the town's harbour, making its way up the Law before returning to the harbour once more.

Entry this year boasted 268 runners, a record for the race, as it returned for the first time since 2019 prior to Covid-19.

The race was started in 1953 to coincide with that year's coronation celebrations.

It was previously organised by Edinburgh AC for 60 years, but Team East Lothian AC and local runners took up the mantle for its return in 2023.

Andrew Douglas and Anna Aitken were this year's overall winners, taking home the male and female crown respectively.

Angus Wright and Tori Reid won first prize amongst the local entrants (both finishing 2nd overall in their respective categories).

The under-18 winner is still to be confirmed.

A spokesperson for the event said: "We had 268 finishers, the highest number.

"It was a new route on the Law this year, so the times will go down as the current records.

"The first year it has been on since pre-pandemic. It used to be organised by Edinburgh Atheltic Club, now run by local runners and Team East Lothian.

"A huge thank you to the army of volunteers we had on the night, and all the local businesses who donated prizes."
