Performers of all ages brought this year’s Inverness Music Festival to a close with a showcase concert.

Throughout the festival – an annual event on the city’s cultural calendar – entrants have competed in a range of classes including traditional music, vocal, speech and dancing.

It finally came to a close with a concert at the Inverness Methodist Church in Huntly Street.
