Scottish and British Champs
Held in quick succession this year, the Scottish and British Champs saw Interlopers' success ...
Scottish Champs
This year's Scottish Champs were held at Barry Buddon near Carnoustie. A large area of sand dunes, it's usually a military firing range, and the access restrictions meant the event was held a few weeks earlier than usual, conflicting with the Irish Championships and other big events. However, there was still a great turnout, and the weather was dry all weekend, albeit rather windy for most of it.
