[wds id=”16″]The solo world will begin to take centre stage in proceedings for the rest of the summer with the two most eminent gatherings at Oban and Inverness to come.

Last week’s Tain Games got lost in the Worlds/ Piping Live week but the results have now been posted.

Saturday sees the Lochaber Gathering and such is the entry that the organisers have split the B/C Grade into two heats with three from each going forward into a final of six. Twenty-eight pipers have entered for this grade, 17 in the P/A and 12 juniors. [wds id=”12″]
