Inverness Pipers / Pìobairean Inbhir Nis

15/03/2025

A different kind of day today, but nonetheless very important.

We were very happy to assist with adjudication for the pipers competing in the Inverness Music Festival.

Lots of very talented youngsters performing and a very enjoyable morning was had.

Many thanks to the organisers for inviting us.

Second weekend of the festival is well underway! 🎶

Yesterday saw lots of spectacular performances from our primary school performers as well as public speaking, senior debating and contemporary vocal!

Today is busy with our trad performances! Piping and chanter currently underway, with fiddle, clarsach, vocal and trad groups to follow!

If you are looking for something to do at 3.30pm this afternoon, come along, with an instrument to our slow session with Paul Anderson and some of our junior performers! 🎵

Apparently it was International Bagpipe Day today 🤨!

In my life, every day is International Bagpipe Day.

The photo is a throwback to a beautiful couple all the way from Brazil to Scotland to renew their wedding vows and celebrate their daughter's 1st birthday.

Here's to more days like this 🥰

Well, what an amazing experience at last night's Oceanic wedding awards dinner at the Marriott Hotel, Glasgow.
It's our first nomination as a finalist for these awards and we consider that to be an achievement in its own right.
Well done to all the winners from the numerous categories and like ourselves, all the finalists in attendance.

A wee clip of the Haggis being piped into dinner for last night's Burns Supper at MacDonald Drumossie Hotel, Inverness.
Thanks to Ops Manager Tomasz for the recording.

Piping in and addressing the Haggis this evening at MacDonald Drumossie Hotel, Inverness in aid of Maggie's.

Graveside duties today for the final resting place of a much missed man. RIP John.

Kilvean Cemetery is a huge place on the outskirts of Inverness. It is very well maintained and all the staff ensure that everything runs like clockwork. They even managed to get the weather perfect for a cold day in January.

We're very pleased to announce that Inverness Pipers have been selected to continue providing piping recitals/presentations to visiting tourists. Last year we were regularly performing in Fort William however, this year not so much travelling will be required as we'll be in the Royal Highland Hotel in Inverness. It all starts again in May. The diary is certainly filling up.

10/01/2025

A difficult one to play today, on the very sad occasion of a young mother, wife and daughter, belonging to the family of the Thin Blue Line. 💙

Any professional piper out there available for a Burns supper event on 25/01/25 in Oxford city centre? PM for details. 👍

It must be that time of year. A good seasoning and maintenance of the pipes prior to what looks like a good year ahead.
Bonus addition this year of going to the Inverary and District concert in a few weeks time and attending the wedding awards next month.
