About the Band
MacLean & District Pipe Band is based in Maclean, New South Wales, Australia, a town strongly associated with Scottish heritage. The band was established at the Maclean Hotel on 5 February 1898, making it one of Australia’s long-running pipe bands.
The band has played a central role in the cultural life of Maclean, often known as “the Scottish town in Australia”, performing at local parades, civic events, Highland gatherings and community occasions. It is especially linked with the Maclean Highland Gathering, one of Australia’s best-known Scottish festivals.
Today, MacLean & District Pipe Band continues to promote Highland piping and drumming through public performance, competition and community involvement. Recent listings show the band competing in Grade 4B, while maintaining its historic role as a musical symbol of Maclean’s Scottish identity.
