Bruce Gandy.

Bruce Gandy of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, won the annual British Columbia Pipers’ Association MacCrimmon Memorial Cairn and Medal held online a couple of weeks ago. The results were announced last night. Gandy won the Open Piobaireachd and the Mary MacLeod Collins Memorial Trophy for the Open piping aggregate.

This was Gandy’s eighth win of the MacCrimmon Memorial Cairn, his first being in 1982. The online competition drew competitors from around the world to the Annual Gathering event that was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Zephan Knichel of British Columbia won the B Grade Piobaireachd for the third consecutive time while Callum Bevan placed first in the Malcolm Nicholson Memorial Trophy (for Combined Grade 1 Annual Gathering and Mini-Gathering aggregate) and the MacIver Memorial Trophy for most points overall. Bevan also won the Grade 1 Jig, the Grade 1 March, Strathspey and Reel and the Caber Feidh Trophy and Grade 1 Piobaireachd.

Meanwhile, Andrew Carlisle won the Open MSR, Kyle Howie the Open Jig, and Brodie Watson-Massey the C Grade Piobaireachd.
