Highland Library Crowdfunder Project
We are looking for YOUR help to fill The Highland Library at The National Piping Centre. Donate now and you could receive a special reward for your support.
The centre has recently rennovated its Highland library which is a source of learning material, music, history and influential documents for our students and visitors as well as academic researchers.
The Library is a great space but does needs filling with new books and resources and we are now looking to the next stage of the Library’s development, which is to build up the book stock and the listening resources available for Scotland’s historic preservation. We are looking to raise £2000 to stock the library and in return will provide a concert for local school children in areas of multiple deprivation to experience the culture and music of Scotland’s National Instrument.
