The 11th annual Captain John A MacLellan MBE Memorial Piping Championship was held at the Army School at Inchdrewer House, Edinburgh, today.
B & C grades were oversubscribed, good A grade entries but P grade entries were limited. Under the guidance of Major Ross McCrindle, Director of Army Bagpipe Music, the Army School delivered a very efficiently run event with top prize money and a high standard of playing. Stay tuned for more.
