Callum picks up the baton at about 9.30 on the player, the picture does disappear for a bit but comes back towards the end of his leg, when he passes the baton over, after having his photograph taken.
Well done Callum for today and for giving your time at School to encourage chess.

Welcome to Banchory!
Posted at 09:31
The baton has touched down for the next leg of its journey in Banchory.
The first baton bearer is chess supremo Callum Smith. At 12 Callum was introduced to chess and within a matter of months was hooked. In only his first year of competing, he came second in the Chess Grand Prix and was selected to represent the Scotland squad for "outstanding performance".
Not content with merely playing chess, Callum voluntarily gives up his own time at Banchory Primary School Chess Club, serving as - to other budding chess players - both a mentor and friend.
