Sir E Scott School pupils are taking home a haul of silverware after a successful day at the Royal National Mòd.

Both the senior and junior choirs each won a hat-trick of competitions in Paisley.

In the under-13s categories, the youngsters won Aberfoyle and District Branch Trophy for the Choral Unison fluent event, the Mrs Schroder Cup in the choral Puirt-à-Beul competition and the Mrs Ann Grant of Laggan Memorial Trophy for the choral harmony event for fluent speakers.

The talented group also secured the Susan Paterson Caledonian MacBrayne Trophy as the highest achievers across all categories.

In this morning’s 13-18 competitions, the school’s senior choir clinched eight trophies following their wins in the Choral Unison open, Puirt-à-Beul open, and the choral harmony events.

The group sang a new song, ‘Fad is Beo Mi,' written by S6 pupil Isla Scott, who is a member of the choir.  

They were awarded the Mrs Campbell Blair Trophy, the Angus M Ross Trophy for highest marks in Gaelic,  the Belle Campbell Trophy, and the Oban Times Challenge Trophy.

In addition they received the Heather K Moore Cup, the Janet Kelly Brown (Uist) Trophy,  Reverend Archie M. Beaton Trophy plus the Sangobeg Prize
