Inveraray Games Results 2026

The warm spell continued for this popular, graded games held in the grounds of the famous castle on July 21. They attracted a large entry from far and wide. There were 20 entered for the Junior Piobaireachd, 24 for the P/A grade, 25 for the B and 25 for the C. Light music entries were similar.
