VINTAGE PIPERS & PIPE BAND GALLERY
Curated vintage pipers and pipe band gallery. We have curated this wonderful group vintage and antique pipers and pipe band photographs. Some in true Victorian and Edwardian style taken in the studio. Others from the early 20th century taken outside at Highland Games and gatherings.
There are many wonderful pipers of the past in the collection. However, there are many pipers we sadly no nothing about and the photograph is the only record of their years playing the Great Highland Bagpipe.If you click on the image we have added any extra information we have about the piper.
These make a wonderful reference source and show a wide range of uniforms and pipers attire from the Victorian, Edwardian and early to mid 20th century periods. We have added some background information on each piper to each photograph were available.
The photos are not available to purchase copies as they have come from our collection and other images sent to us from clients around the world. Copyright remains with the original owners.
