The final of the Guards Club knockout is this Sunday, June 28, at the Scots Guards Club with the usual start time of 4pm. The final will be contested by Chris McCartan and Ross Miller.
The pipers are required to perform a set lasting 30 minutes. The set needs to contain one March, Strathspey and Reel and the ground of a piobaireachd. An audience vote decided the winner of each heat, though the final will include judges.
The Scots Guards Club is at Clifton Terrace, Haymarket (opposite the railway station), in Edinburgh. Entry is £6 and half-time pies are available.
The Knockout has been held for over a decade now and has become a feature of the piping scene in Scotland’s capital city.
The Scots Guards Club was formerly a military club but membership has for many years now been open to all.
