During the 1980s and 1990s Raft Racing was a popular event during Gala Week.
In more recent years it is likely that such events have not taken place because of safety issues.
The races started near Port Macadam and ended near Gatehouse bridge.
We believe all of these photo were probably taken in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
If anyone can provide the year in which any of the photos were taken, please email
Graham & Margaret Wright.
The above is an excerpt from the 1992 Gala Programme
