Considering the downpours in other parts of the country and the geographical location of Nethy Bridge in the shadow of the Cairngorm Mountains, the weather was surprisingly good. The clouds gathered however but that did not put people off attending and there was a good crowd.
Nine played in the ceol mor and 10 in the ceol beag.
