It was a double win for local piper Craig Sutherland at the Royal National Mòd on Saturday.
Competing in the senior piping event at Perth Theatre, he won the Premier and A Grade competitions in both Pìobaireachd and March, Strathspey and Reel.
Originally from Crieff and now based in Perth, Craig plays with Simon Fraser Pipe Band all the way over in Vancouver.
Organisers An Comunn Gàidhealach partnered with The Competing Pipers Association, The Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming and the Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust to support its piping competitions this year, with senior piping competitions graded for the first time.
The opening weekend of this year’s Royal National Mòd in Perth has been showcasing the very best in Gaelic culture, with epic sporting clashes and outstanding traditional music both taking centre stage.
