The Black Watch Pipes and Drums will head to Benarty Gala – all for the love of a Bayne’s pie.

They’ll mix with the upper crust on Saturday for Armed Forces Day before Ballingry boy and drum major Allan Campbell (right) marches with the band to Lochore Meadows on Sunday.

James Fotheringham, from Benarty Events Group, laughed, “They told me they couldn’t make it as they were playing for royalty this weekend but I said we’d give them all a Bayne’s pie each and that’s swung it!

“They have to fund everything themselves so there’s normally a charge and transportation costs but they wavered that and covered it themselves, which is a great gesture.

“They said that as long as we give them a hearty welcome, and spoil them with a pie, they’d be happy to come. “I know Allan and it’ll be a proud day for the family to see him back in his home town with the band.”
