Mrs Campbell contiunued: ‘I should add that although the Rosneath Highland Gathering was cancelled on  Sunday 19 July due to the park being flooded the Highland dancing went ahead in a local hotel and I have rescheduled the solo piping.  The confined and open juvenile piping will be held on Sunday 9 August at the Commodore Hotel in Helensburgh starting at 11am. The senior events will be held later in the year once  I have confirmed an indoor venue.  I will let you know when that is.’

Inveraray Games will be held later today in the grounds of the famous castle. Stay tuned for results later on. Other games this week include Tobermory (judges P/M Ian McLellan, P/M Ian Duncan, Robert Wallace and Andrew Frater), and the Young Piper of the Year in Benbecula.
