Scottish Hampers at the British Pipe Band Championships

Scottish Hampers were proud to be one of the sponsors of the recent British Pipe Band Championships in Annan. This was the first time the championships had been held in Annan and the event was a great success – even the elusive Scottish sun paid a very welcome visit for the day.

Two lucky prize winners received hampers in the Prize Draw, presented to them by the Cheiftan of the Games, and we got great feedback from everyone regarding the hampers on display.

Here are some pictures from the event…
