The Pipers’ Trail Show will be exhibiting at different locations along the trail, and incorporates a mix of music, dance, parades and a theatrical performance in varying degrees of scale. The Pipers’ Trail show will also feature at the Edinburgh Fringe in August.

The theatrical element of the show is the story of Jamie, who leaves home to embark on a journey of self-discovery in an attempt to emulate his Grandfather, who to him, had been one of the world’s greatest pipers; a veteran and a hero in Jamie’s eyes. Jamie meets Morag and they become friends and so decide to travel together. Jamie experiences a variety of challenges through which he learns deep-seated lessons for life. The two are joined by Robert, an ex-serviceman now traveller, who adopts the role of mentor, guide and older brother. He is able to ignite in Jamie the ability to question not only himself but also the world around him.

The Pipers’ Trail is an ensemble piece of musical theatre, a narrative illustrated by some of Scotland’s finest pipe tunes. Watch a short excerpt of the play below.
