Lonach Highland Games, Strathdon Aberdeenshire

[New Zealander]

Information or assistance please?

I have located a medal awarded at the Lonach Games of 1907 to a W G Grassick for the Highland Fling.

Does anyone have knowledge where historical records for the Lonach Games might be kept or if they are even available.

I do have "Grassick relatives both in Scotland and New Zealand.  It would be nice to trace the recipient of the medal.

Any information or other assistance would be much appreciated.
