This is the moment a mini highland dancer melted the hearts of Scots at a Christmas food and drink festival.
Little Lucy Clark from Argyll, Argyll and Bute, jigged to Jingle Bells at the Loch Lomond Shores Food and Drinks Festival in front of revellers on Sunday December 5.
Adoring crowds cheered as the four-year-old performed while donning the traditional highland dress.
A pair of novelty antlers finished off the look as the tiny tot braved freezing temperatures to dance in aid of children's charity, Cash For Kids.
In the audience was three-year-old sister and fellow dancer, Lily, and doting dad Stephen.
The 31-year-old told the Record how traditional Scottish music is in talented Lucy's blood.
Stephen, an accountant, said: "Lucy has highland dancing running in her family.
"Her mum, Ammie, 30, was a highland dancer as was one of her aunties.
"Her other auntie still competes and Lucy and Lily love watching her perform.
"I play bagpipes, as does my brother and my dad, so she's grown up around highland games, competitions etc."
The world of dancing is relatively new for the talented sisters who train with Margaret Rose School of Dance in Helensburgh.
"With the pandemic, the girls only got started at dancing in May this year.
"Lucy has won a few medals so far as you can start competing at four.
"I think she just loves going along to classes and you can she she's totally unfazed by getting up in front of people.
"We're really proud of her, so long as she keeps enjoying it, that's the main thing."
Adorable video footage was shared by festival bosses on social media, with Lucy picking up a throng of new fans who were quick to praise her praise online.
One wrote: "Wow she's so beautiful, she's a great dancer.

Another added: "Absolutely adorable, well done."
