Edinburgh – August 24, 2019 – Angus D. MacColl of Benderloch, Scotland, won the 2019 Captain John A. MacLellan MBE Memorial Dinner-Recital-Competition held at the Waldorf-Astoria Caledonia Hotel in Edinburgh to a packed house.

MacColl performed “The Phantom Piper of Corrieyairick.” Each piper was given a piobaireachd composed by MacLellan to perform in an after-dinner recital atmosphere. Catered by the four-star hotel and sponsored in part by the William Grant Foundation, guests enjoy an event unlike any other, befitting the stature of the performing artists and the memory of the MacLellan, one of the great influences in the history of the Highland pipes.
