I have recently joined this forum. My main interest is military Pipes & Drums worldwide and their Pipe Majors. I am compiling a list of Pipe Majors and have at the moment details of just over 2500 P/Ms. But the list is far from complete. Are there others on this forum with an interest in Pipes & Drums?

I was a not-very-good drummer in a local Pipe Band for a few years. I like a good tune but don't miss the politics!
My Uncle Robert was a pipe major in the 1st Battalion Royal Scots Joined 1946 - 1968 He was also The Lone Piper at Edinburgh Castle during the tattoo
