I was born with the pipes ringing in my ears from the night of the Common Riding. I can\u2019t think of a time when I didn\u2019t love piping or want to be a piper. I am a very lucky man I get to do what I love for a living. I am a professional piper who is based in Stirling. I cover Scotland, the UK and Europe.<\/p><p>I am passionate about piping and delivering performances, which my customers love. This takes hard work and diligent preparation, but I love every second of it. I play an outstanding and beautiful set of pipes. This takes a great deal of work and skill to maintain, but it is the core of delivering a beautiful performance. I even bring a variety of finely tuned chanters, so I can guarantee you the best sound for your venue. I have current videos of me playing so you can see and hear that I am a man of my word. Please listen to me play and ask yourself why a good piper would not have current videos of himself playing.<\/p><p>Just as important as a beautiful bagpipe, is hard practice to maintain and improve your playing. I am a successful solo and band competitor. I practice a minimum of 3 hours and play my pipes every day. I have been playing the pipes for over 50 years and have never lost my desire to constantly improve my playing and performance. I learn every day and love perfecting my art. I am proud to say I am taught by the greatest player and teacher of all, Willie Morrison of South Uist.<\/p><p>I am an ex Scots Guards Piper and only wear the absolute finest of uniforms. I always make sure both myself and my uniforms are immaculate. Please press the uniform selection below and choose which uniform you would prefer. I have the bold red and blue of the Royal Stewart tartan and wear the Scots guards traditional dress which is used for playing for Royalty. I also have the soft muted blues and greens of the Ancient MacThomas. This is such an elegant beautiful Highland tartan and uniform.<\/p><p>I will consult and communicate with you from start to finish. I want my piping to be that touch of magic you will fondly remember. Have a look at my venue services and have a think what you would like. Press the Get in Touch button and give me details of the occasion or event. dates, rough timings, type of event and what you would like. If you are not sure that\u2019s fine. I am here to help. Give me a time which is convenient to call or just call me direct on 07737007477. I have designed this site to help you get the best out of my services.
