Here are the solo piping results from today (Sept 8th), writes Piping Convenor Stuart Samson. A large entry, with over 60 competitors across the adult events and 13 in the juniors.
Weather overcast with a nice temperature – a little bit of rain at the end of the day made for a damp prize giving. The photo is of myself presenting the trophy to Sarah Muir winner of the Open Piobaireachd and the Overall Winner in the Senior events.
