Heather Cameron, 89, is among those taking part at the sessions at Lochgilphead’s Multiple Sclerosis Centre – better known as Snowdrop Argyll.
The centre supports people affected by neurological and other long-term conditions, or who have been feeling the effects of social isolation.
The former hotel manageress, who is originally from England and moved to Argyll 50 years ago, said she had not known about shinty until her grandsons started playing when they were pupils at the local high school.
“We used to go along to egg them on, standing in the freezing cold shouting their names. They are in their 20s now and still play,” she said.
“Until I came here I didn’t know about shinty at all. I didn’t know anything about it until the boys started playing.”
“It’s great fun. Everybody can join in and it is a team game.”
