The Angus Scott Pipe Band - A Celtic Experience!
Our Beginning
The Angus Scott Pipe Band was formed in 1955 by a small but dedicated group and is one of the oldest continuing Scottish bagpipe bands in the Spokane & Coeur d'Alene area.
The band was named in memory of Pipe Major Angus Scott of Kimberley B.C. His enthusiasm and support for the project had much influence on the Scottish community in the Inland Empire.
In this photo of the Kimberley Pipe Band dated July 1, 1927 we see Angus and his brother Hamish Scott:

The primary objectives of the Angus Scott Pipe Band are:
- To promote public awareness of Scottish heritage and traditions through the instruction and performance of highland bagpiping and drumming.
- To promote quality playing and performing as an educational venture for the general public.
- To provide free concerts to educational and charitable organizations.
- On a non-discriminatory basis, to teach, promote and foster the proper techniques needed to perform on the Scottish bagpipe, bass drum, tenor drum, and snare drum.
