Callum Wynd

Glasgow – March 11, 2023 – Callum Wynd of Stirling, Scotland, was the top winner at the annual Duncan Johnstone Memorial B- and C-Grade Solo Competition, taking the award with two second-prizes. The B-Grade events were held at the National Piping Centre’s Otago Street premises, while the C-Grade took place at the organization’s McPhater Street auditorium.

There were a total of 169 performances over the day, and the C-Grade Piobaireachd was played in heats judged by Euan Anderson, Derek Fraser, Ronnie McShannon, and Willie Morrison, with 33 pipers vying for six spots in a final.
