The Clan Gregor Society Pipe Band, founded in 2001, was a Grade One pipe band based in Airth, Scotland. The band was established by members of the Scottish branch of the Clan Gregor, a Scottish clan which has membership throughout the world. In 2003, the band won four out of the five major pipe band competitions in Grade 2 including the World Pipe Band Championships; it then began its first season in Grade One in 2004 under the leadership of P/M George Shepherd & D/S Michael O Neill. In this season, the band placed 8th in the champion of champion aggregate tables whilst also taking a 5th place at the European Championships in Lisburn. In doing this they became the 1st band since 1984 to win a championship prize during their first year in Grade 1. 2004 also saw the band qualify for the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green after coming through a tough early morning qualifier, a feat they repeated in 2005. 2005 saw the band cement their place in the grade by taking two 6th prizes at the British and Cowal championships respectively.
