Read all about it! 2017 Scottish Championships news reports

Malcolm Wood was in Perth to report on how the titles were won and lost at the Scottish Championships.

Dysart
  Dysart Colliery were one of the headline makers in Perth this year

Malcolm Wood was in Perth where he enjoyed a wonderful welcome from the Scottish Brass Band Association hosts for a superbly run event that saw memorable battles for titles at all levels.

Not only was there the clash of the heavyweights in the top section, where domestic as well as European pride was on offer, but there were also some cracking playing on show in the other sections too — including the end of a 96 year wait for a title.
