A torchlight procession will brighten the streets of Perth in October to mark the opening of this year’s Royal National Mòd.
The display will kick-start the annual celebration of music and culture, which this year takes place between October 14-22, and is expected to attract hundreds of people for a night of communion and camaraderie.
This will be the Mòd’s first torchlight procession for a number of years and its return is highly anticipated by adults and children alike.
Marching under the light of around 60 flaming torches, the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band and Perth and District Pipe Band will lead the procession down Perth High Street, starting at 6.30pm.
James Graham, chief executive officer of An Comunn Gàidhealach, said: “It is wonderful to have the torchlight procession back after a number of years without it.
“The event brings the community together for a night of excitement, and creates an immense feeling of anticipation for the celebrations, concerts and competitions ahead.
“This year, we have some truly incredible talent gracing stages the length and breadth of the city for audiences to enjoy, and the torchlight procession is a truly spectacular way to kickstart the festivities.”
