The Argyllshire Gathering will take place in Oban later this month, on August 23 and 24. The Gathering always attracts the best pipers in the world and as such has much to offer the piping enthusiast too. The picturesque setting and the march to the games field on the second day make this Gathering unique in world piping.
The picture above shows last year’s Gold and Silver Medallists, Nick Hudson (l) now of Houston, Texas, and Ian K MacDonald, Whitby, Ontario. Ian K went on to complete a historic double of both Gold Medals in the same year when he triumphed at the Northern Meeting. Here are the orders of play at Oban for 2017:
