History
Formed in 1969 as the British Caledonian Airways Pipe Band, the band would go on to win the World Pipe Band Championships (Grade 2) in 1977. By then known as the British Caledonian Airways (Gatwick) Pipe Band, the group was upgraded to Grade 1 the following year. After a change in sponsorship, the band became known as Power of Scotland (in 1989) and, finally, ScottishPower in the early 1990s.
1995 marked a new area for the band as they switched from their distinctive Ancient Caledonia kit to the newly developed ScottishPower tartan.
The ScottishPower Pipe Band is currently led by P/M Chris Armstrong and Leading Drummer Jake Jørgensen.
