Luck was with us in Kilmartin, because we happened upon a Gala put on by the local people. There was a lot going on, of course, including a peregrine falcon...
And then there was the Mid Argyll Bag Pipe Band! This was a real treat as they put on a particularly energetic show. The Drummer girls were incredible. And the music was so well done. This band has been in existence in Mid Argyll (and Lochgilphead) for most of the 20th century and given the relatively small population of the area, is very conscious of the necessity to encourage young people to take part. This is absolutely evident in this video, which I totally recommend (it combines hip hop dancing with piping!!). Anyway, I purchased the CD and here is the cover:
