Games Update - Kincardine is a Go!

We are extremely pleased to announce that the PPBSO and Kincardine Scottish Festival have been able to mutually agree on our usual involvement for the 2025 Highland Games on July 5th.

Kincardine will now appear on the master entry form with a full slate of band and solo events.

Your PPBSO is also planning a smaller competition for June 7th in downtown Hamilton.  This would be a great opportunity for grade 3, 4 & 5 bands and amateur soloists to get outside for a run through before Georgetown HG later in June.

The final details have not yet been worked out but this gathering would be limited to ten bands and will be held on the grounds of the Scottish Rite in Hamilton.

President, Malkie Bow said: “Although not a full Highland Games, we’re excited to run this event as a pilot project in the hopes of a bigger event next year”.

The Hamilton Gathering will appear on the master entry form for Grade 3, 4 & 5 bands as well as a full slate of amateur solos. Stay tuned!
