A large contingent of 16 Chanter players and pipers from Kintyre Schools took part in the annual Strachur & District Junior Solo Piping Competition last Saturday 21st June.

At the end of a successful day five of the pipers travelled back home to Campbeltown with Winners Trophies. Jason Cordell won the Chanter competition March, and Cameron Wylie was the winner of the Chanter Strathspey & Reel. On the Pipes, Calum Cowie took first prize in the Novice Bagpipe Contest, and Sarah Muir with a disciplined performance received the Jura Trophy for Piobearaichd. Fiona Mitchell had an outstanding day winning a clutch of 4 trophies for the March, the Strathspey & Reel and the Hornpipe contests and for Dress & Deportment.

Other local names featuring in the prize-list were Donnie McKerral, Neil McFadyen, Bruce Cowie, Campbell McFadyen, Craig Barbour, Keith Cowie and Ross Ferguson.
