Niall Stewart Recital: Big crowd
75 piping enthusiasts braved the icy weather and came along to Tulloch Castle to hear two excellent pipers: Niall Stewart in top form and very talented piper Cameron MacDougall.
This was a really entertaining set of performances and if you weren't there, then I am afraid you really did miss out. Great crac, great crowd, great raffle prizes and a terrific night out. Watch out for our recital reports from our enthusiastic observer. Brian Yates is our chief reporter. Read his report >>> Support Inverness Piping Society
