Bagpipes are synonymous with all things Scottish, and they are a defining feature of the country’s traditions and culture. People’s appreciation for the instrument and music, which is strongly associated with the Scottish Highlands, extends across the world. Scotland welcomes thousands of visitors each year to compete in world-class bagpipe competitions, attend exciting piping and traditional music festivals, or simply invites people to enjoy the enchanting drones along their travels across the country.
This year, we are delighted to see the continued return of piping events with an exciting line up of events for keen pipers and music lovers to enjoy across the country. These festivals join our exciting portfolio of sporting and cultural events that strengthens Scotland’s position as the perfect stage for events.
Supported by the International Events Programme, these piping events provide opportunities of social and economic benefit to local communities and serve as a reminder that the buzz is well and truly back for Scotland’s events industry.
