RESIDENTS at two Ross-Shire care homes rocked to the sound of Pride as they welcomed performers from the local LGBTQ+ community.
Eilean Dubh in Fortrose and Innis Mhor in Tain took part in a two-day Parklands Pride festival, featuring performances from Inverness singer Sugar Browne, Highland drag queen Venus Guytrap, and Blair Teska from Scottish traditional music band Tuath, accompanied by Jarad Rowan.
Alexis Le Neven, manager of Eilean Dubh care, home, said: “Residents, relatives and family had an amazing afternoon with great music and fun.
“Thank you to our team for coming together to organise such a nice event and to our performers for joining with us to celebrate love and diversity.”
Residents were joined by relatives and friends from the local community for the two 80-minute shows that included a mix of pop and rock hits and favourite traditional Scottish songs that brought back fond memories for many residents.
This was Venus Guytrap’s second Parklands Pride, and for Blair Teska it marked a poignant return to Innis Mhor where his late grandmother Jessie was a much loved resident.
Representatives from Highland Pride also attended the performances.
