Scottish Schools Pipeband Championships told through a PR agency in Edinburgh

THE Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust has committed £500,000 towards the tuition of Scotland’s traditional music in Scottish schools.

Such a commitment deserves to be ‘piped’ from the rooftops – and that is exactly what happened when our PR agency in Edinburgh stepped in to tell the story.


The bagpipes are a national Scottish instrument and ensuring it is kept alive today the SSPDT set up a school programme for tuition to learn the pipes and drums on the same basis as other orchestral instruments, reaching thousands of children.
