BBC presenter Joy Dunlop, who is also an award-winning singer, said she “thoroughly deserves the prestigious title”.

“She gave an outstanding performance, and we hope this accolade allows Ellie’s traditional music career to continue to go from strength to strength.”

Ellie also won a recording session and appearance on Radio Scotland’s Travelling Folk, an opportunity to perform at the Scots Trad Music Awards, and one year’s membership of Musicians Union.

Organised by BBC Radio Scotland, the Young Traditional Musician competition has been increasing the profile of Scottish traditional music and recognising rising talent in the genre since 2001.

It has been a springboard for numerous Scottish traditional music exponents to international acclaim.

Last year’s winner was Calum McIlroy, a mandolin and guitar player, also from Aberdeenshire.
