The British Pipe Band Championships were held at St James Playing Fields in Paisley on Saturday, with St Laurence O’Toole being crowned winners.
More than 120 bands from as far as the US, Belgium and Denmark travelled to Scotland for the event, with local school bands also taking part.
Ian Embelton, chief executive of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, said: “The British Championships are the first of our five major championships taking place throughout the summer and we saw a top-class display of piping and drumming from the world’s best.
“Once again, the people of Renfrewshire came out in numbers to support the event – Paisley is a great location and host venue, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with the town over the next two years.”
Brian Whittingham, the Tannahill Makar for Renfrewshire, was named chieftain of the event.

Attorney General Barr, may be too busy to attend this year?
Barr is an avid bagpiper. He began playing at age eight and has performed competitively in Scotland with a major American pipe band. At one time, Barr was a member of the City of Washington Pipe Band.[29]

It is a she. And it's what you might expect.
However, sometimes they'll fool you.

That’s a big lady, but it’s entirely possible that she has a sweet personality and a repertoire of traditional ballads.
