Fort William, Scotland – August 27, 2021 – The West Highland sunshine continued to beat down on while many of Scotland’s top solo pipers competed in and around the Highland Cinema for the Lochaber Gathering, resumed as an in-person event after a year off due to the pandemic.

Ben Duncan of Edinburgh won the Lochaber Gold Axe, the biggest prize of the day, and took the 6/8 March and a few other prizes for good measure. Calum Watson of Lasswade, Scotland, and Ross Miller of Linlithgow, Scotland, copped the other firsts.
