The world famous Hardraw Scaur Brass Band Contest takes place annually within our natural wooded amphitheatre to the rear of the Inn on the second Sunday in September. The band contest was first held behind the Inn in 1884 and were held upto 1927. Then in 1976 the Band Contest was restarted and has been a success ever since.

After the completion of the competition, the concert MC will introduce the Finale programme. This is the traditional end to the day which takes the form of an impromptu concert given by the massed bands drawn from those who have competed in the contest. this enables both musicians and audience to come together and enjoy singing the hyms along with the bands.
would love to hear this one day- I love brass bands
