grampian police pipe band
Aberdeen City Police Pipe Band was formed in 1907. Since then, the Band has had a long and proud tradition of playing at events and competitions throughout Scotland and has become a particular favourite with the people of the North-East of Scotland. The Band originally wore the ‘Hunting Gordon’ tartan, clearly identifying itself with its strong North-East roots. However in 1965 a new uniform was chosen and since that time the Band has worn the Black Stewart tartan. On formal occasions the Band wears a full military style uniform of black doublets, tartan plaids and feather bonnets. The Band wears jackets and waistcoats with glengarries on less formal occasions and in competition.

By 1980, the band became members of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association and from then began a period of rapid growth and great success.
