A group of Gaelic-speaking teenagers from around Inverness, who sing traditional and self-penned Gaelic songs.

Formed under the umbrella of Feis Na h-Oige, the youngsters (aged 13-17) all went through Gaelic medium primary education in Inverness, on to various secondary schools around the Highland area.

Canntaireachd is the term for a style of vocalisation adopted by pipers passing on tunes to students.
