Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band competing in the Grade One competition at the 2019 RSPBA's British Pipe Band Championships held on 18 May in Paisley at the St James' Playing Fields.
This is the band's debut performance at a major championship with its new pipe major, Emmett Conway. The band's Lead Drummer is Andrew Lawson.
Great to hear the band playing what will be a new tune to many - The Stirlingshire Militia, a march written by the famous nineteenth century piper, Hugh Mackay who died in Stirling in 1864. I thinki this is the tune's first appearance on this channel.
Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia's MSR set was:
March: The Stirlingshire Militia [Hugh Mackay (1801 - 1864)]
Strathspey: Blair Drummond (traditional)
Reel: John Morrison of Assynt House ([Peter R. MacLeod (1878 - 1965)]
