I'd like to mention that I was one of three judges for the shortbread contest, which was a blind taste test. Z's shortbread was well deserving of a prize.

BTW, it was pouring rain on Saturday; so, all of the competing solo pipers had to come and perform inside this barn-like pavilion that was not air-conditioned except for one side open to the elements. It was deafening and hot! On Sunday, muddy conditions meant the competing pipe bands also had to come inside to battle. It wasn't raining that day, so temps climbed into the low 90s!
