National Piobaireachd Champion

Charles MacDonald, Ross & Cromarty Schools Pipes and Drums Band member and also a member of Inverness Piping Society, returned north from the 2010 Open Piping Competitions held in the National Piping Centre in Glasgow with the 1st Prize for the under-15 Piobaireachd. Charles played an outstanding 'Mary MacLeod' to take the prize, our congratulations.  The February competition was open to pipers from across the UK and Ireland, so Charles had stiff competition to shrug off!
Charles has started coming to the Piping Society meetings in Inverness and is one of the band of young pipers who do so.  The atmosphere is quite relaxed and a good place to practice - in front of a 'home crowd' would be a fair description.
