St Columba's Church in Stornoway is hosting a fundraising concert of classical music to help finance the restoration of the building’s historic stained glass windows.

 

The leaded windows were installed during refurbishment works in 1885, making them over a century old.

 

Some are now in a critical or poor condition with repairs estimated to cost £150,000.

 

As a listed building all renovation work is being done to strict regulations, which comes at an higher cost.

 

The concert will feature Gavin Marnoch and Douglas Leadbitter playing viola and piano.

 

Gavin - a music student from Tong - but studies at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

 

He along with Douglas, have kindly offered to play some classical pieces.

 

All welcome to this evening of music which commences at 7.30pm
