AS we swing into summer and weekends of fetes and sunny fundraising events, this week we take a look back to some of the highlights of the popular Gourock Garden Party.

Usually held in June, the Garden Party has brought something for everyone to enjoy in the town's walled garden, the location for a family day out.
