Scotland has one national sound, that of the Great Highland Bagpipe. I have been playing solo bagpipes for 16 years now at Weddings, Dinners, Funerals and all sorts of other events all over the country and overseas. Some of which are listed and explained further on my website.
If you require a Bagpiper for your event please contact me for more information, I will be delighted to give you a quote and offer my experience in gaining the maximum impact.
As a full time Piper I am available at short notice throughout the week but less so during the summer, please contact me to discuss your requirements. Whether it is in Scotland or further afield please contact me for a quote, I will be happy to help and advise.

Weddings
A Scottish wedding isn't complete without a Bagpiper to greet the guests on arrival and to bring ceremony to the proceedings.
It is normal and much requested that the piper be available to pose for photographs with the newly married couple and with guests, a function which I am happy to perform. With the No.1 military style uniform this has become a regular and much sought after opportunity for those wishing special memories of their day.
Without doubt this is the way all pipers should be dressed, standing out from the kilted guests in a definite visual role. |

Funerals
Whether it be a graveyard, crematorium or scattering of ashes the music of the Bagpipes is a moving and evocative touch to such a sad and heartbreaking event. The sound of the Pipes focuses the gathering mourners on the solemnity of the occasion whilst taking the edge of the harshness of grieving but gives a touch of ceremony and dignity to the life of the deceased. Once the ceremony of the military and ex - servicemen this function is carried out more often for those who are Scottish and those with a Scottish connection. |

Burns Supper
The biggest and most popular Scottish celebration night after Hogmanay. Burns Suppers celebrate the works of Robert Burns on the anniversary of his birth on the 25th January 1759. Although this is the official date these suppers take place every weekend and during the week until and including dates in March, such is the popularity of the event. Obviously Pipers are in great demand owing to the number of events taking place and it is advised that enquiries and bookings should be made at the earliest opportunity. Be aware, Pipers tend to have a diary from one year to the next - if you get a good Piper book him for next year. |

Arrivals
Surprise your loved one with an unexpected welcome to Scotland with the sound of its national instrument, The Great Highland Bagpipe. When someone close to you is returning home or visiting Scotland for the first time or whether you wish to make a first time impression on them then why not hire a Piper to play them into the country? |
Dinners
This function is requested mostly from companies and organisations hosting conferences and meetings. The role of the piper here varies according to venue as the dinner itself need not necessary be in the same location. Therefore the guests can be met by the Piper at the door or car park and led to the entrance to be met by the venue staff. The sound of the pipes is the normal call to dinner at these events and guests follow the piper to the dinning room. |
Openings
Do you have the grand opening of a shop, store, community facility, organisation or launch of a product or service? Then draw attention to it by reaching out to those around you with the sound of the Bagpipes, there curiosity will be aroused sufficiently to drawn them closer.The piper normally plays for 20 - 30 minute stints on these occasions to highlight an event to passers by, thus increasing the numbers likely to attend the event. |
Birthdays
A special birthday party wouldn't be complete without a surprise, why not make it a Scottish Highland Piper. If you are having the party at a special location you could have the guests or the Birthday Boy/Girl piped in on arrival followed by the cake being piped into the hall. Or you could just have the piper appear out of nowhere to play a selection of Scottish tunes. |
Corporate Functions
When you are entertaining your clients or organising a conference why not welcome them with the sound of the pipes, an great idea for an ice breaker before proceedings begin. A combination of some of the above suggestions may be more suitable for an evening of entertainment. Contact me for further information. |
