Comrie Pipe Band

Comrie Pipe Band was formed in the 1920's.  One of the prime movers behind the band was Mr. Alexander McGregor who headed a Committee which raised funds to provide uniforms for those who could not buy their own and also to pay for the equipment.  The band played at many functions throughout Perthshire.  In 1929 the band was one of eight bands taking part in the pipe band contest at Comrie Highland Gathering. 155 bandsmen took part with Comrie Pipe Band having 15 players in Royal Stewart tartan under Pipe Major Thomas Clark.

The twinning of Comrie with Carleton Place in Canada has resulted in Comrie Pipe Band visiting there in 1994 and 1997.  The 42nd Lanark & Renfrew Pipes and Drums from Canada visited Comrie in the summer of 1996, together with the Mayor of Carleton Place and the Mayor of Perth, Lanark County, Ontario.
