Highlight of the second day at Inverness is the Gold Clasp competition, which, with the Senior Piobaireachd at the Argyllshire Gathering, is the most prestigious ceòl mòr prize in world piping.
It was a major win for Angus MacColl adding to his Senior Piobaireachd title at Oban. Angus capped a super day by taking first in Hornpipe & Jig as well.
