These pictures show the beautiful handmade woodwind instruments - crafted by Scotland’s last flute maker.

George Ormiston has been making flutes and piccolos for 42 years and is one of less than ten remaining manufacturers in the UK who make the instruments from wood.

Geroge, 68, who played the flute as a teenager, has two workshops - one in Bo’ness, Falkirk and another in Stirling - where he meticulously crafts his instruments by hand.

The trade has been classified as endangered on the Heritage Crafts Association’s list of endangered crafts.

This footage was filmed on March 10.
