Welcome to IDPB.co.uk

The Inveraray and District Pipe Band is the area's first pipe band in 70 years and was set up by local piper Stuart Liddell, who hit on the idea whilst giving weekly bagpipe lessons in local schools. The band is registered with the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, takes part in competitions and is regularly asked to play at local community and charity events. Being in the band teaches the children discipline and teamwork, and about Scottish history and culture.
