The Atholl Gathering was held today (May 26) in the grounds of Blair Castle, Perthshire. Seventy-eight solo pipers, junior and senior, competed meaning an early 9.30am start and a late finish.
There were graded senior contests for piobaireachd. Light music events for March, Strathspey and Reel and Hornpipe & Jig were open. The ceòl beag was split into four heats with four pipers in each progressing to the final.
Three tunes were asked for in ceòl mòr and MSR. The H&J and Juniors were own choice, but H&J finalists had to play a different set in the final. Stay tuned for more results and comment. Results:
