If Carlsberg did association pipe bands....

You don't have to have been in the Black Watch, or even the army. You will have to wear a red kilt if you're a piper and spend the rest of your life explaining why.

No Carlsberg will be supplied.

We are recruiting. Do you fancy slow marching up and down the square, or would you rather read a book?

Did you know?

Queen Victoria granted permission to the Black Watch for their pipers to wear Royal Stewart Tartan. Only the drummers wear the Black Watch tartan.

Do you want to part of history? We are recruiting in all areas of the band (not Drum Majors though, we've got tons of them🙄)
