Tour Scotland Video Piobaireachd Competition Lochearnhead HIghland Games

Tour Scotland video of the Piobaireachd Competition at Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Highland Games in Lochearnhead, Scotland. The Druim a' Charraigh Quaich is presented annually by The Clan Gregor Society to the winner of the Piobaireachd Competition at Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and Strathyre Highland Games. This commemorates the MacGregor Piping School which flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries near the mouth of Glen Lyon. The word piobaireachd literally means pipe playing or pipe music, but is now used to describe the classical music of the Great Highland Bagpipe. Another name for it is Ceol Mor meaning the Big Music, which separates piobaireachd from all other forms of pipe music, for example; marches, reels, jigs etc; which are referred to as Ceol Beag, the Little Music.
