Results from the Scottish Pipe Band Championships 2025

The Scottish Pipe Band Championships were held on Saturday July 26, at Levengrove Park in Dumbarton. 

It is interesting to note there were 123 performances at Dumbarton this year, which is almost double the 65 performances at the UK Championships earlier this month. We need to go back to 2018 to find a similarly large attendance at Dumbarton when there was 126 performances.
