An athletics and business chief who lives in Killearn talked sport with the Princess Royal as she presented him with his MBE.
Ian Beattie, the chief operating officer of leading Scottish legal firm Lindsays, was awarded the honour for services to athletics.
The accolade follows a long competitive and voluntary career in the sport, which entered a new chapter as he became chair of UK Athletics in October. He held the same role at scottishathletics for nine years.
