The drive to north to Fort William passes through some incredible scenery such as Loch Lomond and Glen Coe.
Practice was blessed with typically Scottish weather, low cloud, high winds and heavy rain.
Scottish junior Frazer McCubbing smashed it to take 5th place at home.
Round 1 winner and overall leader Andrew Crimmins ended up in 9th, 20 seconds back. The leader's jersey would be handed over to Brit Laurie Greenland who secured another 2nd place.
It's hard not to admire the talent of Martin Maes, taking the win in juniors after crashing up top and in a one off race after the EWS in Peebles.
Manon was looking strong on track all weekend and seeded in 1st place.
Manon had a massive crash coming into the arena whilst only 3 seconds down on Rachel, she still finished an incredible 4th but what could have been...
Rachel recovered from a poor seeding run to win in front of Seagrave, Ragot, Carpenter and Curd.
Ratty had a big off in the woods which meant he rode in a lot of pain for the rest of the weekend; he still managed to salvage points for the overall in 31st.
Local rider Greg Williamson was looking for a top result this weekend after top 10s in the previous 2 races here but it wasn't too be for the Scot.
Brook is one of the best riders to watch through the rocky top section, fast and loose. 45th was not the result Brook came here for, he'll be looking for redemption in Leogang.
Wyn was pinned and took his best finish to date in 11th.
It looked ominous when Gwin came down almost 7 seconds quicker to sit in the hot seat.
Not many people had Greg down for the win this weekend, he took an almost unexpected win but it was stupid to ever discount the South African in the first place!
With this victory Greg equaled Peaty's record of 17 WC wins.
Rachel stepping out onto the podium in front of her home crowd.
Smiles all round with Greg spraying the champagne, Gwin taking the lead on the overall, Marcelo taking his first podium, Gee with a solid 4th after being injured in Lourdes and Blenki rounding the podium off in 5th.
