Youngsters from across Moray hit the right note at a celebration of traditional Scottish music over the weekend.
Around 85 children turned out at Elgin’s Moray College campus on Saturday and Sunday for the eighth annual Feis Mhoireibh event, taking part in classes on Gaelic music, song and dance.
Feis chairwoman Stephanie Christie said the event was not simply about celebrating the past, but was a means of ensuring Gaelic arts live on into the future.
She said: “What the children seemed to enjoy most was learning new instruments, and in learning together you could see them bonding and becoming friends.
“It was great to observe these friendships developing in classrooms.
“We want Gaelic song and dance to be a living tradition, we want to keep it new and fresh.
“So while we encourage kids to play old tunes, we ask them to make something new out of them.”
Over the course of the weekend, participants enjoyed tutorials in playing the tin whistle, bagpipes, accordion and chanter, as well as Gaelic singing and dance events.
On Sunday the celebrations culminated with tutors and students joining forces to perform a Gaelic rowing song.
Ms Christie added: “The weekend is a celebration of Highland culture in the past, as it is now and how it will be in the future.”
