Scotland have made a very good start to the European boys' team championship on another hot day at Murcar Links.
The first two days are stroke-play with five of each team's six player' scores to count daily.
The eight teams with the best aggregates at the end of Wednesday's second round will form the championship match-play flight.
The Scots are at the top of the live scoreboard with three boys back in the clubhouse - Ben Kinsley (St Andrews) and Ewen Ferguson (Bearsden) both with par-matching 71s and Euan Walker (Kilmarnock Barassie) with a one-over 72.

Out on the course will are Calum Hill (Tantallon), out in one-under 35 and still one under with six to play;  Robert MacIntyre (Glencruitten), out in two-over 38, and now three over with six to play; and Connor Syme (Dumfries and County, pictured on first green, out in one-under-par 35.  
Looks as if Robert's will be the discarded score.
England, the perennial favourites in these tournaments, are outwith the top 10 in the live scoreboard, Between them the English sextet have had quite a few double bogeys.
