History
The band was established in 1964 by Captain John Deuchar and Roy Smith, who was the first Pipe Major. The band has competed at every level within the contest structure of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, reaching Grade 1 in 1989 and 2012.
David Clunie and Arthur Cook were appointed in 2010 to the roles of Pipe Major and Drum Sergeant, as well as a new Pipe Sergeant Craig Whyte, who served as pipe-major of the band for a period in the 1990s.
