Silver Chanter 2017 winner Cameron Drummond.
The Skye Piping Society and the National Piping Centre have announced that from this year the Silver Chanter competition will continue in Glasgow.
Cailean Maclean, chairman of the Isle of Skye Piping Society, said: ‘While the Skye Piping Society is disappointed that due to rising costs and diminishing income we have had to sever our connection with the Silver Chanter competition, we are delighted that, through the support of the ‘William Grant Foundation and the National Piping Centre, a way has been found of ensuring the event’s continuation at least for the next few years. It is wonderful that this prestigious piping event has not been lost and we wish every success to the National Piping Centre in its stewardship of the Silver Chanter competition.’
