A great day of piping was had by all at Inveraray Games on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. The weather was outstanding with plenty of fluids and sunscreen required throughout the day.  There were 21 entries to the Competition League for Amateur Solo Pipers (CLASP) second outdoor competition of the year with 18 pipers playing in Grades 1, 2 and 3.  Dr Andrew Bova judged all the Light Music and Piobaireachd.  A special thanks to Piping Convenors, Brian and Pamela Spalding.
