The 1986 Barrhead Gala Day and Pipe Band Competition.
The parade from Barrhead Station up Cross Arthurlie Street and then along Main Street to the park was led as usual by the Neilston and District Pipe Band. A great selection of floats took part and the good weather brought out the
crowds.It might have been the first year the pram race took place causing great
hilarity with the spectators and the competitors from the local pubs. Of course
there was the Bonny Baby competition as well as the bowling tournament finals
and and the pipe band competion prizegiving marked the finale.
