About the Band
Queensferry Pipe Band, now commonly known as Queensferry Pipes & Drums, is a community pipe band based in South Queensferry, west of Edinburgh. The town previously had two pipe bands, Queensferry Caledonia and Queensferry & District, but these disappeared by the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The modern band began in 2018, when former members and local players came together to take part in the traditional Ferry Fair parade. That group first used the name Queensferry Memorial Band, honouring the area’s older pipe band tradition and past members. After a couple of successful Ferry Fair appearances, the band changed its name to Queensferry Pipes & Drums and registered as a full-time community band.
Today, the band performs at local events, private functions, weddings, galas and community occasions around South Queensferry and beyond. It is registered as Scottish charity SC055022 and describes itself as a community-based pipe band.
