Cameron, Duncan, Durning, Muirhead do the business at Blairgrowrie

Blairgowrie, Scotland – August 6, 2026 – Roybridge, Scotland’s Sandy Cameron was the aggregate winner across the top Senior events at the annual Blairgowrie & Rattray Highland Games, where a total of 60 pipers competed in the various events.

Morla Bruce and Charlie Mack enjoyed excellent days in the Junior solo piping.

The event is extra-popular with pipers because of the typically excellent stewarding and organizing, and its strict adherence to Competing Pipers Association grading and hires only judges accredited by the UK’s Solo Piping Judges Association.

Temperatures were mild with light drizzle in the morning, but clearing up in the afternoon.
