Duncan Watson reports: The weather was warm and dry and was good for piping but the extraneous noise of a funfair was overpowering at times and would have made it difficult for pipers in tuning and concentrating on their tunes. Is there an answer to this when funfairs and such activities provide an attraction? There was a big crowd of spectators in attendance.
The results were as follows;
