AboutUs: Stockbridge Pipe Band Edinburgh

About Us

Stockbridge Pipe Band was formed in 1994 and is registered in Grade 4b of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association. The Band is currently under the direction of Pipe Major Euan Whitmore and Drum Sergeant Andrew McCaig. Our primary goals are:

to encourage the continued development of the Stockbridge Pipe Band, both musically and as an established organisation within Stockbridge
to encourage the appreciation of Scottish music both locally and internationally
to provide a community focus and an opportunity for social interaction for all ages
to provide instruction to all ages in piping and drumming

To help achieve these goals, we compete at Major Pipe Band Championships and local competitions and also participate in many parades, galas, charity and corporate events throughout Edinburgh and Scotland.

Stockbridge Pipe Band is available to hire for any of the above occasions or similar events and welcomes enquiries from interested parties via the Band’s email address: stockbridgepipeband@hotmail.com

A brief history of the Band’s initial formation can be found here.

We are continually searching for musicians who have experience of playing at Grade 4 level and wish to participate in the Band’s varied schedule throughout the year. In addition to this, we have developed a structured tuition programme and are able to provide experienced tuition for beginners of all ages and abilities in both piping and drumming.
