A Moray music festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary helping to keep traditions alive this weekend.
Feis Mhoireibh gives schools pupils in the region the chance to learn instruments including the accordion, clarsach and chanter.
Chairwoman Steph Christie, who has been involved in the event from the beginning, has seen it grow.
She said: “Some of the children at the start, who were maybe eight or nine years old, have now grown up and are at university.
“They are still playing and they are passing on their skills to others. Obviously it’s not everyone, but you can see they’ve had many happy hours.
“Although the weekend is about music tuition it is a lot more laid back than a classroom.”
Over the last two weeks primary schools in Moray have had tasters of what to expect with musical visits.
During the weekend the children will learn pieces of music before performing the songs at the end of the festival.
As well as teaching Gaelic phrases other Scottish dialects make up the event. For the first time this year the programme includes Scots song.
Keeping traditions alive is important to Mrs Christie.
She said: “We learn from the generations that have come before and come after. These things are special to Moray, and a little further beyond.
“Everybody is very good with their gadgets these days but they still respond to the traditions.”
Feis Mhoireibh is on Saturday and Sunday at Moray College in Elgin from 9.30am to 4pm each day. The cost is £40 per child, £30 for others from the same family.
