AN ambitious team of Black Isle students will be showcasing their work in Inverness at the weekend.

Revive, Fortrose Academy’s Young Enterprise team, will be a trade fair on Inverness High Street outside the Eastgate Centre where they will be selling their upcycled washing machines along with a range of other goodies.

The students will also run a guess the song competition with a fiery theme to bring a bit of fun.

Revive, made of ten students from the Fortrose school, are participating in this year's Young Enterprise Company Programme. They use the drums of old washing machines and have upcycled them into a sustainable fire pit to stay warm while having an outdoor gathering.

Last month, the team entered the Dragon’s Den in Nairn. They stood out from the competition and were awarded £100 from the dragons to go towards future production and any alterations to their product.
