TV celebrity Lorraine Kelly is backing a community appeal to replace musical instruments lost in a fire.
The ITV breakfast star donated £400 to the Fèis Eilean na Hearadh fundraising drive, topping the tally over its £4000 target.
Fèis equipment was destroyed by a fierce blaze which ripped through the Scalpay factory over a week ago. Items stored in the building were wrecked.
Lorraine Kelly donated to the appeal while on a weekend break in Harris with her TV cameraman husband, Steve Smith.
They were staying in a Tarbert hotel and heard the skirl of bagpipes heralding a Highland dancing display in aid of the fèis.
