The Atholl Gathering was held today (May 24) in the grounds of Blair Castle, Perthshire. There were several call offs but still a very healthy entry with 17 in the P/A Piobaireachd.
The weather was settled with some warmth and sunshine. There were graded senior contests for Piobaireachd. March, Strathspey and Reel and Hornpipe & Jig were open. The ceòl beag was split into four heats with three pipers in each progressing to the final.
Four 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. Results:
