What is The Piper’s Trail?

The Piper’s Trail is a musical event run by the Army in Scotland which aims to encourage more people to play, learn, listen and enjoy traditional pipe and drum music.

Music is an important tradition within the Army, and we hope to use The Piper’s Trail to connect with local communities through their shared passion for music and also raise awareness of the Army’s vocation, values and place in Scottish society.

Where will the trail visit this summer?

The Piper’s Trail will predominantly visit primary and secondary schools across Scotland.

The trail will also be supporting and marching at certain Armed Forces Day events in Scotland. For more information on Armed Forces Day, you can visit their website.

There will be public performances in selected locations, showcasing the effort made by children on the workshops. It’s a busy time for the Army so we won’t have as many as last year, but we’d love to see you if you can make it to one.
