(Updated) Blairgowrie Games Get Big B and C Grade Entry
Blairgowie, Scotland – September 7, 2003 – About 30 pipers, a large majority players graded B and C by the Competing Pipers Association (CPA), turned out for the Blairgowrie Highland Games. Weather was partly sunny throughout the day. As always, stewarding was deftly handled by young Jimmy MacGregor.
James MacHattie originally was announced the winner of the B&C Grade Piobaireachd event, but the result was overturned when it was realized he is actually an A Grade player.
