Piping on the Square, Drymen
Over the years, we have met people from all over the world who have enjoyed this event. The different bands do an excellent job of introducing the music they’re playing, providing stories about the tunes, together with a bit of history about their band.
Some of the bands that have performed over the year have become successful in major competitions. Piping on the Square is an essential way to play together and practice in front of an audience.

The event is free, but donations help to support the bands to purchase uniforms and instruments. Donations also help preserve the village square at the heart of Drymen, which is owned by the community.
VisitScotland made a short video of the event a few years back, when they put it online it went viral with over a million views on their channels.
