Plans are under way to create a new pipe band for Lochside at the North West Community Campus.
The South West Scotland Piping and Drumming Academy provides free piping and drumming tuition in schools across the region and also holds classes outwith school times so there is equal opportunity for all interested children.
Now, the weekly tuition at the North West Community Campus has been so popular that headteacher Barry Smith wants to form a band and has enlisted the support of the academy professionals.
