What the charity does

The GDMT is set up to make sponsorship awards to groups or individuals who apply for some assistance for education and teaching of playing Scottish Traditional music and to encourage the best musicians of this type of music by sponsoring top players in invitational contests. So from beginners to the top players we assist. We also encourage composition of Scottish Traditional music tunes and making these tunes available to others. This is mostly music for the Great Highland Bagpipe but also includes fiddlers and other musicians playing our wonderful music.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
