Hi Sheila, they have a web site at www.obangames.com The last time I looked it didn't have any dancing but has the list of winners of the Piobaireachd Gold Medal. Your Cameron was a famous piper, as well as a dancer. Most of the dancers of that period were also pipers, women of course were not allowed to compete. There were a few Alex Camerons, the one you are looking for is Alick Cameron, sometimes called Sandy, sometimes Alex or Alexander. George McLennan wrote a great tune for him called Alick Cameron, Champion Piper. There was a story doing the rounds that he was a better piper than dancer. McLennan, one of the great names in Scottish music composition scotched that story with his title. I edit a Scottish magazine and also write on piping - I have a great deal of info on the Camerons. (piping). I can't promise to be quick but will happily share what I have. I'd also be very interested in what you collect about his dancing - Highland dancing material is like hen's teeth. regards Bruce Campbell >From: "Donald Tryk" <esquipi@sofnet.com> >To: SCT-ARGYLL-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [ARGYLL] Argyllshire Gathering/Oban Games >Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 14:50:25 -0600 > >Does anyone know where records of winners at the Argyllshire Gathering/Oban >Games might be kept?
