A Scottish piper known for his incredible videos showing him playing the bagpipes at the top of many of Scotland's most famous mountains is offering a unique gift for people to give to their mums on Mother's Day.
Grant McLeod, who started playing the bagpipes when he was just nine, set himself the challenge of bagging all 282 of the highest mountains in Scotland (known as Munros) - and playing his pipes at the top of each.
What began as a touching tribute to his late grandmother, has grown into something he hopes will bring a little Scottish sunshine into people's lives online.
The social media star, who is known as the Munro Bagpiper and regularly goes viral with his piping videos, is offering an ideal way to show your love for your mum on the special day.
Posting on Facebook, Grant, who is originally from Glenelg in the Highlands, wrote: "Get in touch to have a tune recorded especially for a loved one from Scotland! Mother’s Day is coming up, or maybe it is someone’s birthday?
"Have a special tribute read out and their favourite tune played from Scotland."
Those looking to create their own bagpipe tune can contact Grant via his Facebook page or by emailing [email protected] to find out more.
The adventurous piper, who has also performed in front of landmarks such as the Kelpies, explained that with each peak he reaches his follower numbers on both his Facebook and Instagram, where he shares his videos, have grown.

He said: "If conditions allow, yes I climb in my kilt. If the weather and terrain are a bit more unpredictable I’ll change at the
