Now you can witness hundreds of years of Scottish heritage, played out right before your eyes and ears at the Museum of Piping in the National Piping Centre.
As a showcase for artefacts from the National Museums of Scotland, the Museum of Piping houses the most authoritative display of its kind anywhere. Already, the National Piping Centre’s collection of archival material is an internationally respected resource for serious students and musicologists.
Yet this priceless collection is presented in a lively audio-visual format that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. Commentary comes in five languages, including Gaelic, drawing you into all the fascinating folklore on display. In only minutes you begin to appreciate the diverse forms of music for the Highland Bagpipe including Piobaireachd, the classical music of the pipes.
Opening hours can be found on the About Us page.
