Johnny Simpson into ‘Melbank’s Salute’ for judges Gordon Clark and Colin MacLellan today at Birnam.

Birnam Highland Games took place today in changeable weather, writes Stuart Letford. In the morning the torrential rain caused quite a few of the competitors to leave their pipes in their boxes and head back home. There was a real possibility at one stage of the event being cancelled.

However, at noon the showers relented and the sun shone. The conditions thereafter were changeable and caused a few problems for competitors. That said, there was good music to be heard from the pipers who handled the conditions well.
