The Kintyre Forum

Congratulations go to Iain MacPherson for winning the Sarah Weir Trophy at the Mod today in Oban!

This is an open competition, with men and women taking part, and the song chosen needs to be about Mull or Iona. He should make it to the TV programme tonight as a consequence, but no guarantee. Great result.

Meal do naidheachd, Iain!

I have not studied all the prize-winners for the competitions in detail, so there may be more people from Kintyre who have won prizes, but that one caught my eye. As for the piping and chanter on Saturday, I did not see any local winners, but that may be wrong - maybe someone can add any local winners here - mòran taing!

is it on the iplayer?

Hi nomad.

Iain was not on the programme - they cannot show all prize-winners, and so need to judge editorially how the programme should be balanced. Pity ...

He may be in a future programme, showing highlights / concerts / competitions 'as they happened' etc, etc...

BBC ALBA is the place to look, one of:
