THESE youngsters needed little encouragement bang the drum for the Muir of Ord Gala which is set to come to a climax this weekend.

A drum fun workshop led in the village hall by Steve Sharpe allowed children hands-on experience with a range of percussion instruments from around the world.

The gala continued on Thursday with a tea dance, kids disco and bowling sessions with Friday highlights including a teddy bears' picnic and a movie night.

A hugely successful 5k fun run was also staged.

Saturday promises a day out for all the family with a stunt team, falconry displays, dancing and sideshow attractions such as bubble zorbs, laser tags, bouncy slides and fairground rides.

A head-turning High Street float parade is scheduled for 7pm.

The week concludes on Sunday with an Inverness Model Railway open day.

See the gala group's Facebook page for more information.
