Scottish Pipers Association Professional Results

The Scottish Pipers’ Association Annual Professional Piping Competition was held today at the College of Piping in Glasgow with a strong field and a healthy entry.

The ceol beag was broadcast on Livestream. The picture above shows 2017 prizewinners (l-r) Gordon McCready, Sarah Muir and Graham Drummond.

There was a last minute change to the judging line-up due to a family illness. Piobaireachd: Dr Bill Wotherspoon and Bruce Hitchings.
Light Music:  Ian McLellan BEM and Andrew Frater. The 6/8 march was judged whilst the competitor tuned up for the piobaireachd. The Former Winners MSR was two different marches, strathspeys and reels, making the contest a bit more interesting.
