    The Argyllshire Gathering

    The Piping Competition forms just one aspect of the work of the Argyllshire Gathering, whose members have been working to promote Argyll since 1871.

    The Gathering's Piping Trust supports piping and especially younger pipers across Argyll; the Argyllshire Gathering Oban Games are one of Scotland's leading Highland Games and a highlight of Oban's year.
