The Great Highland Bagpipe, perhaps the best known of Scotland's musical instruments and an ambassador for Scotland throughout the world, is accorded new prominence by the founding of The Piping Centre. We serve as a national and international centre of excellence for the instrument and its music. Close to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, we incorporate a school with rehearsal rooms and a performance hall, not only for the Highland pipe but also Scottish Smallpipes, Uillean Pipes, Fiddle, Accordian and Drumming. There are also a museum and interpretation centre, and a reference library, as well as conference facilities and a hotel.
