We can provide a range of services from a single piper, mini band, wedding bands or a full traditional marching pipe band to make your event one to remember! We are available for events all around the UK!

The band wears a traditional Highland uniform, with an ancient hunting McRae Tartan in glengarries with a blue and yellow hackle.

Our musical direction is provided by Pipe Major Bill Pepper, and Drum Sergeant Rod Masters. Throughout the years, the band has played at hundreds of different events, including County Shows, Concerts, Parades, Weddings, Corporate Events, competitions and many more. For more information contact us.
