The Silver Chanter MacCrimmon Memorial Piobaireachd Competition was founded in 1967 by Dame Flora MacLeod, 28th Chief of MacLeod, with John MacFadyen and Seumas MacNeill for the purpose of encouraging top class pipers to compete at the Skye Gathering. This was much needed, as the piping competitions had been waning for some years at that time. The stratagem was a success, and the piping competitions at the Games are now well attended at all levels.
