It was a good day for playing at yesterday’s games – warm with light cloud cover. Twelve adults played, with eight in the Junior Piobaireachd, reports Dr Jack Taylor.
There was a touching tribute paid to Patricia Grant who died last year. She had been Games Secretary at Tomintoul for many years and also organised the Grampian Piping League based on the results of the Grampian games.
