Dear All, 

Save the dates!! 

The Scotch Watch will ne going on tour next spring 2019 from 24 May to 2nd of June. 

We will be competing at 2-3 Highland Games (the dates are not available yet but based on previous years - to be confirmed) 

1st West Lothian Highland Games on Saturday 25th May 2019 

2nd Highland Games to be decided (Atholl Highland Games - possibly for solo competitions) - 26th May 2019  

3rd Shotts Highland Games on Saturday 2nd of June 2019 

In between we will tour Scotland by coach visiting the whisky distilleries from Edinburgh up the Spey Valley, over to the West Coast, Isle of Skye - stopping at Pitlochry, Aviemore, Inverness, Loch Ness, Fort Augustus and other beauty spots!! 

For those who just wish to play at the Highland Games please reply separately.  

If you are travelling from Europe you’ll need to book flights with Easyjet to Edinburgh - the coach will leave from Edinburgh Airport on Friday 24th May at 6pm and drop everyone back early Sunday 2nd June 6am for flights back to mainland Europe. 

Costs - based on 30 people / 9 nights 
- flight - £200 (if you book now www.easyjet.com) 
- coach - £200 
- accommodation - £22 per person per night based on Youth Hostel rates (approx £200) 

To take part you need to be a piper, drummer (snare &/or tenor) - we have drums so no need to bring any. And be able to play the new 4B competition set and our basic repertoire of tunes - see www.scotchwatch.org for the scores. We need a minimum of 8 pipers, 3 snares and 1 bass player - it’d be great to have 2 tenors! 

If you would like to bring a partner then this is possible too. 

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested- we will be asking for a £200 (250CHF)  deposit.

Any questions please contact me. 

Many thanks 
Best regards
