Solo piping entries are now closed.
This year the solo piping competition at the Cowal Gathering will take place on Friday 30th August.
Please note that the number of competitors in all competitions will be limited to a maximum of 20 this year. Places will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. i.e. The first 20 to enter each competition will compete on the day.
Competitors entering the local events must have been born in the Argyll and Bute area or have resided there for at least 6 months prior to the date of competition.
Order of play will be decided by a random draw performed after the closing date, which is now the 26th July. The order of play will be issued to each competitor along with their competitor passes well before the competition date. It is the responsibility of the piper to present themselves at the playing platform at the correct time and failure to do so could result in their elimination.
Competitor numbers will be recieved upon registration and must be worn when competing. We would appreciate it if all trophy winners were in their uniform for the presentations.
