The Traditional Gold Medals at the Royal National Mod in Oban went to the Isle of Lewis in both the men’s and women’s competitions.
Norman Macleod, 22, of Carloway, and Katey Graham, 19, of Back, both study Gaelic.
Ms Graham studies at home through the University of the Highlands and Islands, and Mr Macleod does Gaelic Media Studies at Sal Mor Ostaig on Skye.
In the Traditional Gold Medal competition, singers can choose their own songs as opposed to the Gold Medal, where competitors sing prescribed songs.
Mr Macleod sang a song about Carloway written by his second cousin and another which told was a funny story.
Ms Graham sang about a little boy’s fond childhood memories and about a man who moved away from his homeland.
She said: “Traditional singing is a bit more free and a lot more open to individual choice. It is a more natural form of singing and you can add your own ornaments to your own tune.”
Mr Macleod said: “There is no music in front of the adjudicators, it is a lot more natural. That’s the idea of it any way.”
Speaking about the final, Ms Graham said: “It was a nerve-racking feeling. You really don’t know what to expect because the competition can really turn round between the qualifying and the final. It is the tension when you know you were being watched.
“Winning was a bit over-whelming. I didn’t know what to expect because everybody in the competition did really well. It is definitely a moment to be proud of.”
Mr Macleod said: “It is very difficult to describe. On stage and before the competition it is very nerve-racking. Winning was great. It is a really good feeling. It was a strong competition this year and everybody did really well.”
Both were attending the Mod with their respective choirs from Carloway and Back.
