A memorial fund to celebrate the life of a music loving teenager killed at the Manchester Arena bombing has been launched five years after the atrocity. Eilidh MacLeod, 14, from the Isle of Barra, attended the Ariana Grande concert in May 2017 and was one of 22 people who died.
Now five years since the attack, the Eilidh MacLeod Memorial Trust has announced details of a £50,000 fund to help budding musicians follow their dreams. Eilidh was a keen bagpipe player and her band were placed at the 2016 World Pipe Band Championships, a source of huge pride for her and her family.
The Trust was set up in 2018 to support music education for youngsters, and it has already funded more than 30 musicians and groups across Scotland. Now it has revealed an anniversary fund which will hand out £50,000 worth of grants to support more musicians.
