At this year’s AGM, the winners of the band’s annual awards were announced. Fraser Wells won the Niall Fairgrieve Award for the most improved young drummer; Aileen Roberston won the band member of the year title; and Finlay Vischer won the Gail Wilkinson Award for the most improved young piper.

In addition, the band awarded honorary membership to John McMillan, Provost of East Lothian, and to Jim and Moira Graham (of Graham the Jeweller), all of whom have supported the band superbly over many years.
