The Pipers' Trail Show

Pipers TrailAnother component of The Pipers’ Trail is the Show which 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 (see Jamie's Story), 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 all of which underline the core values. The two are joined by Robert, an exserviceman 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. It is a story for all ages.
