Bagpipes And Drums Music Of Comrie Pipe Band Highland Perthshire Scotland



Tour Scotland travel video compilation of the bagpipes and drums music of Comrie Pipe Band from Highland Perthshire. Comrie Pipe Band was formed in the 1920’s. One of the prime movers behind the band was Mr. Alexander McGregor. The band currently wears the Strathearn tartan. The twinning of Comrie with Carleton Place in Canada has resulted in Comrie Pipe Band visiting there in 1994 and 1997. The 42nd Lanark & Renfrew Pipes and Drums from Canada visited Comrie in the summer of 1996, together with the Mayor of Carleton Place and the Mayor of Perth, Lanark County, Ontario. Comrie, Gaelic: Cuimridh; Pictish: Aberlednock; is a village and parish in the southern Highlands of Scotland, towards the western end of the Strathearn district of Perth and Kinross, 7 miles West of Crieff. Comrie is a historic conservation village, situated in a national scenic area around the river Earn. Its position on the Highland Boundary Fault accounts for it experiencing more earth tremors than anywhere else in Britain. The Great Highland bagpipe, Scottish Gaelic: a' phìob mhòr, is a type of bagpipe native to Scotland. It has acquired widespread recognition through its usage in the British military and in pipe bands throughout the world.
