Info: | Until 1921 the event was entitled Pitlochry Athletic Sports. In 1933 a Pipe Band contest was introduced, which until 1998 was limited to Pipe bands in Grade 1. Dec. 2019 the website mentions a Pipe bands competition in all 4 grades. |
Calculation: | In principle, the number of the most recent edition is based, purely arithmetically, on the year of its first edition, i.e.: (a [= year of the most recent edition] minus b [= year of its first edition]) plus 1 = c [= number of the most recent edition], assuming that the event has been held annually from the start, and that there has never been a gap in the continuation. NB: A first anniversary = by definition the 2nd edition. [NB²: According to this, the event held in 2019 would have been the 168th edition]. |
