The Lowland & Border Pipers' Society


Welcome to our Website
The Society was formed in 1982 by a group of enthusiasts who were interested in reviving the bagpipes of the Scottish lowlands and border region. These pipes are bellows-blown with their drones issuing from a common stock, and have been played in Scotland since at least the 17th Century.
Over recent years, the Society has grown from being a group of like-minded friends, to being a truly international organisation, with members in many far flung places. There are now a number of well established professional makers producing pipes of the highest quality, and the instrument has been adopted by numerous folk groups.
