Evening of Pipe Music with Stuart Liddell, 2020 Winner of Glenfiddich Solo Piping Championship.

About this Event

Braemar Royal Highland Charity are delighted to host an evening of Pipe Music with the renowned Stuart Liddell. For anyone who knows Piping, they will know Stuart is at the top of the game and an absolute delight to listen to.

Stuart is founder and current Pipe Major of the World Champion Pipe Band, Inveraray and District. Winner of the Glenfiddich on several occasions, latest in 2020, he is one of the world’s most exciting pipers and is noted for his excellent solo performances and recordings. Stuart’s excellent performances and achievements have inspired many to take up the Pipes with his incredible ability to motivate and influence their journey of pipe music.

This event contributes to the BRHC Charitable objectives to promote the education of the general public about the history, traditions, and advance public participation in sports, language, culture and heritage associated with Highland Gatherings.

Attendees will kindly be asked to comply with current Scottish Government Covid 19 Guidance.

The Pavilion Bar will be open for refreshments
