Find answers to common queries about Forth Pipers and our services.

We cater to weddings, corporate events, Burns Suppers, Graduations and Funerals / memorial services: bringing our expertise and years of piping to your event. We can play at anything where you think bagpipes would make it extra special: which is anything really!

Our pipers have been playing since we were as young as 8! All of our pipers have performed all over the world and continually play at all types of events. Most of our pipers have competed in Scotland and abroad and won prizes at major competitions.

Yes, all of our pipers have multiple uniforms and kilts. We all take great care and pride in our appearance and will look great in your event pictures. We have both “Number One” Dress and standard highland outfits. Number One dress is a kilt, doublet and plaid and takes a little more time to get ready. Standard highland outfit is kilt, jacket, waistcoat and a glengarry (hat).

We provide solemn and respectful entrance music for funerals, honouring the memory of your loved ones with the haunting melodies of the bagpipes. Amazing Grace, Highland Cathedral, Flower Of Scotland, Dark Island are all regularly selected pieces of music for Funeral Entrance music. Please speak to us if there are any specific pieces you’d like us to play.
