A Lanarkshire Highland Games competitor battled through travel troubles to claim a whole host of medals at the Masters World Championships.
Paul Dearie, originally from Shotts but now living in Carluke, set off for New Brunswick in Canada hopeful of glory after seeing his bid for the world title last year thwarted due to the US Covid travel ban.
And despite some problems with transport once again, it wasn’t enough to stop Paul winning two golds, four silver and a bronze medals at the Games as well as placing second overall.
