Sgoil Lionacleit Pipe Band is competing in the first Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships this weekend.
The school band are travelling to Broughton High School for the event which will include bands from more than 40 schools.
David Johnston is Chairman of the committee behind the competition, which has the motto, Every school needs a pipe band. He added: “We’ve got pretty big ambitions for getting young people into piping and drumming, but it’s fair to say the number of entrants in our first year has exceeded even our expectations.
“It’s brilliant to have so many keen youngsters developing a real passion for what is, after all, Scotland’s national musical heritage and one we have exported all across the world.

Outstanding! Thanks very much Swampsniper!
Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!
