  1. Bonnets and Glengarry,s off to the Pipers who battled through some hellish elements as the afternoon wore on today.Well done to everyone who got through to the end.
    The spirit and camaraderie of all at Oban over the last two days as well as the quality on display shows Pipings future is in good hands.
    Torquil Telfer deserves a dram tonight.
