One of Lochaber's musical youth is pictured with a new set of small pipes - thanks to a grant of £400 from Lochaber Enterprise.

The youngster is part of Feis Lochabair - a local traditional music group which exists to encourage young people in the area take part in traditional music, song and dance.

Two sets of pipes were needed by the group in order for its members to learn how to play them. The small pipes are worked by bellows under the arm, and give a gentler sound than the Highland bagpipe.
