Pipe Band Contest
The pipe band contest began in Bathgate in 1972 and it was out of the success of this that the games was born.
Bathgate has always been a major competition for pipe bands, having hosted the British Championships for several years, and the European Championship in 1991.
Our competition covers grades one to four and novice juvenile and is run and regulated by the Lothian & Borders Branch of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association.
Details of next year's pipe band draw will appear here once they are available.
