Former Forres Academy pupil and Scotland cyclist Ellie Stone has won a second medal at the Commonwealth Games after clinching bronze with Aileen McGlynn in the Tandem B 1000 metre time trial.
The 21-year-old from Aviemore was the pilot for 47-year-old McGlynn, who is partially sighted, claimed third place at the LeeValley Velo Park in London.
It follows the duo winning the silver at the Women’s B Tandem Sprint on Friday.
Stone was a latecomer to cycling, only transferring to the sport in 2018 after previously being a sprint hurdler with the Inverness Harriers.
She won two national track titles in keirin and 500 metres time trial in March.
