Renfrew’s Robertson Park was a sea of tartan on Saturday 19 July as Scotland’s top pipers and drummers descended on the town for the Renfrew Pipe Band Competition. 

The free-to-attend event brought a full day of family entertainment to the park, with visitors enjoying inflatables, stalls from local traders and a small funfair.

Throughout the day bands took to the arena to compete in the various grades with the competition judged by officials from the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA).

Local bands Johnstone, Kilbarchan, Paisley and District RBL and Renfrewshire Schools pipe bands represented the area, achieving great success across the different grades.

The day also had some international interest, with the Royal Army of Oman Pipe Band competing in the Grade 3 and Grade 2 competitions.

The event was organised by Renfrewshire Council and the RSPBA.
