The Kinlochard Gathering takes place on Sunday, July 14. This is always an enjoyable community gala day/mini Highland Games held in The Trossachs village of Kinlochard.

Pipers assemble at the Forest Hills Hotel in the village and lead a parade to the games field at 11:30. The main event opens at midday.

A junior solo piping event was first held in 2015 and since then has usually attracted a good entry. Competitors are to play one round of 2/4 and 6/8 marches, and another round of tunes of their choice.

The Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust sponsors the piping. James Beaton from The National Piping Centre is this year’s judge.
