Speirs wins Bratach, McCallum best overall at London

London – November 10, 2012 – Iain Speirs of Edinburgh completed a dream-like two weeks of piping, winning the Bratach Gorm for piobaireachd at the annual Scottish Piping Society of London competitions at the Kensington Conference Centre. It was Speirs’ second win of the Bratach – considered by most as one of the top-five awards in Highland piping – and it followed his first Glenfiddich Championship win on October 27th. Willie McCallum of Bearsden, Scotland, was the overall winner through the top-level events. Gordon McCready of Renfrew, Scotland, had a great day, winning both the top-level MSR and the special March competition.
