Teenager Ella Howatson has achieved a Lockerbie Gala and Riding of the Marches hat-trick.
The 14-year-old farmer’s daughter was crowned as Gala Queen on Saturday at a ceremony in McJerrow Park – adding to her previous accolades as a junior attendant in 2014 and Miss Valentine in 2020.
ROM chairman Ian McLatchie said she joined “an elite group” in being elected for the three roles, and comes from a long-standing family tradition of supporting the annual festivities.
