This competition was held on August 27 in the Highland Cinema, Fort William. Sponsors were the Moidart Trust and PF Charitable Trust.
Piping Convenor Ken Cameron: ‘The day started grey with some drizzle, but by the time the 6/8 March and Hornpipe & Jig competitions started on the outside platform, rain had stopped and the day warmed up with blinks of sunshine.
‘Of course, the overhead canopy provided shelter for the judges and competitors on the outside platform, while the plush surroundings of the Highland Cinema cosseted the players competing on the two indoor platforms. Judging by the comments received from players and spectators, an enjoyable day was had by all.
‘The photo is of Calum Kaye from Edinburgh playing his Hornpipe & Jig before Patricia Henderson and Lewis Barclay.’
