Inveraray requires all competitors to be a member with a grading from the CPA. Connor Sinclair took the March and Greig Canning won the Strathspey & Reel. MacColl was the overall champion on the day.

Next to the Argyllshire Gathering, Scottish Piping Society of London and Northern Meeting competitions, Inveraray is considered by many to be the most significant non-invitational piping competition in the UK.
