Photograph Making A Right Turn In Scotland


Photograph of a Scottish Drum Major giving the signal for a right turn in Scotland. The Drum Major is the leader of the pipe band and normally positioned at the head of the pipe band. He, or she, is the figure who stands out most in the public eye. The Drum Major is responsible for providing commands either verbally, through hand gestures, or with a mace, to the pipers regarding where to march, what to play, and what time to keep. They are often dressed in more ornate clothing than the rest of the pipe band.
