MORE than 80 young musicians and arts groups will benefit from a fund set up in memory of Manchester Arena bombing victim Eilidh MacLeod.

A total of £53,400 is being made available for young musicians across Scotland from the Eilidh MacLeod Memorial Trust.

It is the largest amount of funding the charity has ever issued in a single round, with the grants potentially benefiting more than 2000 youngsters.
