Tour Scotland Video Scottish Piper Ross Ainslie Greyfriars Bar Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of Scottish Piper Ross Ainslie playing the bagpipes on visit to the Greyfriars Bar in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Ross is one the finest traditional musicians and composers, highly sought after on the Scottish contemporary folk scene for his skill on pipes. Born in Perthshire in 1983, Ross began his career as a member of the Perth and District Pipe Band, before joining the Grade 1 Vale of Atholl Pipe Band, where he was mentored by piper Gordon Duncan. Hugely influenced by Gordon’s fearlessly innovative spirit and ground breaking compositions, Ross began exploring his own abilities as a composer and writing his own tunes, and in 2002 he was a finalist in the prestigious BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year competition.
