Competitors

Solo Piping

Last year’s solo piping competitions was for juvenile pipers only, with the exception of the Burgh Cup. We also introduced some chanter competitions for the youngest players just setting out on their piping journey.

We are currently putting together a programme of events for the Solo Piping events for 2023. Look forward to some great events next year.
