City of Mt. Dora Pipe Band
The City of Mount Dora has an interesting legacy and connection with Scottish culture. Early settlers David Simpson and the city’s namesake Dora Ann Drawdy and Ross Tremain came from Scottish roots. More recently our Sister Cities twinning program with Forres, Scotland has continued that Scottish link with cultural exchanges for over twenty years. And 2022 will mark the tenth annual Mount Dora Scottish Festival; an event that has grown over the years and ensures all our citizens and visitors can immerse themselves in Scottish culture at least one time each year no matter where they are from. So, it is no surprise that as a community we embrace those Scottish roots with the stirring, powerful, emotive tradition of performing bagpipe music. Mount Dora is unique in many ways, but one way we stand apart from other communities is the partnership with the City of Mount Dora Pipe Band.
