About the Band

Penicuik & District Pipe Band is a community and competition pipe band from Penicuik in Midlothian, Scotland. The band is currently part of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association’s Lothian & Borders branch and is listed in Grade 4A, with Edward Hanratty named as Pipe Major.

The band is active locally and on the contest circuit, representing Penicuik at Highland games, parades and RSPBA events. Its public profile describes it as a competing Grade 4A band, rehearsing twice weekly on Monday and Thursday evenings at Shottstown Miners in Penicuik.
