A new name was added to the Grade 1 World Pipe Band trophy today, August 19, with Peoples Ford Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia winning for the first time. There were scenes of wild celebration, and plenty of tears flowing on Glasgow Green as Pipe Major Ross Harvey led his band to a historic triumph.
