Mfont size=4>Perth Highland Games – one of the most popular events to be held in the city – is to attract a sizeable crowd on Sunday.
This year’s games chieftain will be Brigadier Michael Jameson, Lord Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross. He will preside over a full programme of traditional Highland Games competitions, along with special performances by a visiting Norwegian brass band.
Visitors to the games will be able to enjoy scores of events, including heavyweight competitions and a track programme that will see Scottish Championships medals being awarded in the 90m foot and 1,000m cycle races.
Solo piping will start at 10am and there will be junior and senior classes for light music, as well as piobaireachd competitions at C, B and open grades.
Meanwhile, the games has a new Highland dancing co-ordinator this year: Jacqueline Aird from Fife. She already has 120 pre-registered entries, with more likely to enter on the day.
There are 46 pipe bands from 10 nations signed up to play 73 performances in six grades of competition. Bands are coming from Scotland, Austria, Australia, Canada, Jersey, Malaysia, New Zealand, Oman, South Africa, Switzerland and America.
