We conclude our guide with thanks to the Royal Scottish Highland Games Association. Promoters please forward details on any information we have missed.
August is an extremely busy month with 26 gatherings going on at various venues around the country.
We have excluded competitions which are not essentially games events: CPA Bronze Medal, Skye Gathering, Northern Meeting, Silver Chanter, Lochaber Gathering.
To promoters, please remember to send Piping Press your results along with a photograph if you can. Successful pipers like nothing better than seeing themselves in the media with your trophies. Here’s the email: editor@pipingpress.com.
