A Strathaven beauty queen made it all the way to Sri Lanka to represent Scotland in a top international pageant.
Abigail Gliksten was recently named Miss Intercontinental Scotland 2016 but lost out on the Miss Intercontinental 2016 crown at the grand final on Sunday which was won by Miss Puerto Rico Heilymar Rosario.
However the 23-year-old blonde beauty said this week, being her first international competition and only second ever pageant, she was "exceptionally pleased" at making the top 15 against 70 other contestants in what is South Asia’s biggest beauty pageant.
Abigail is an ambassador for Lanarkshire’s St Andrew’s Hospice and has been helping them fundraise towards their £9m refurbishment project.
She hosted a ‘Wonderland Tea Party’ at the Scout hall in Strathaven to raise funds.

Abigail, who is studying dentistry at Dundee University, said: “St Andrew’s Hospice is a fantastic local charity offering vital care and support to families from across Lanarkshire.”
On becoming Miss Intercontinental Scotland, she said: “The swimwear and evening gown sections were particularly challenging for me as I normally run around in trainers and flat shoes, however, the interview round was a bit more natural as I have had many interviews in order to be able to study for my degree.
“As part of the pageant, I organised a charity exercise marathon and my Wonderland Tea Party for my chosen charities Over The Wall and the St Andrew’s Hospice Capital Appeal and in total raised £3000.”
