Military bagpipe bands in Scotland today are part of the army, but also an important part of the pageantry of Scotland, encouraging tourism and reminding audiences of the history of the British Isles.  We share that goal of providing pageantry, historical information, and entertainment to our clients here in Pennsylvania.

Our band has three basic military-style uniforms:

 

Cold weather

We wear black military sweaters, our Royal Stewart and Black Watch kilts, hose tops, spats and dirks and Glengarry caps with King's Crown badges.  Horsehair sporrans and pipe banners for all of our pipers in good weather.

  

Warm weather

We wear khaki military short-sleeved shirts, our Royal Stewart and Black Watch kilts, hose tops, spats and dirks and Glengarrys with King's Crown badges.
In the rain

In light rain and drizzle we wear Inverness Capes.  In heavy rain we reserve the right to step out of the line of march to protect our expensive uniforms.  In the past five years this has happened only one time and after a short spell on some friendly neighbors' porches, we, and the rest of the parade, resumed the march.
Different kilts

In the beginning of the band

...there were as many tartans as members
