Canadian piper Bruce Gandy of Halifax, Nova Scotia, won the annual Donald MacDonald Quaich competition held at the Clan Donald Centre, Sleat, Skye, last night.
Others who competed for the £1,000 ($1,500US) first prize were Douglas Murray, Niall Stewart, Roderick MacLeod and Stuart Liddell. The adjudicator was Dr Jack Taylor.
The competition was generously sponsored by the Glencoe Foundation, USA. Pipers had to play a piobaireachd from the Donald MacDonald collection of books and manuscripts. The competition has been running since 1986 and was previously sponsored by Glenfiddich.
