The Lewis Pipe Band have long been an integral part of island life in the Western Isles, and today's band is made up from people from all walks of life. 2012 saw the band head for the British Pipe Band Championships - only the second time they'd ever taken part in a competition at that level. To their huge surprise, they finished second in their grade and were promoted to grade 4A.
Not content with this success though, the band were hungry for more and this year decided to make their debut at the European Pipe Band Championships in Forres - a competitive gathering of no fewer than 120 pipe bands from all over the world.
This programme tells the story of the months and weeks of prep, the ups and downs and the many challenges - small and large - along the way for the band, as they write a brave, new chapter in their history!
