Amazing Piper!

Calum played at our festival and made it that much more special. He responded promptly to our requests and had suggestions on tunes that would work. He showed up early to warm up, played brilliantly, and even posed for some photographs. Highly recommend!

Excellent and very professional

Calum played the bagpipes at our wedding this year and we could not have picked a better piper. He met with us months before to organize which tunes we would like and the order in which they were to be played. He was so professional and such a good player.

 As I have Scottish roots, it made my day to have a genuine Scottish bagpiper to play. Calum was so nice and did everything that we requested of him to make our day extra special. I would strongly recommend Calum if you are looking for a true Scottish Bagpiper at your wedding.

Thank you

Very happy!


I booked Calum to play at a birthday party I threw for my father who was 70 and has Scottish roots. He played all my father’s favorite Scottish tunes and he really made his night. Calum was so good with him and his Scottish accent made my dad’s night. I would defiantly hire Calum again

It was a blessing to have such a talented Piper for our Handfasting Ceremony. Our guests were delighted with the experience of hearing the pipes! Calum is very professional and so helpful. We highly recommended booking The Scottish Piper for your special event.

I was born and bred in Scotland and while living there I have played for Her Majesty the Queen, United States Vice Presidents, Dukes, Earls, Clan Chiefs and for hundreds of weddings, funeral's and corporate events.

I have been playing the bagpipes for 40 years. I grew up in Dunoon Argyll in Scotland and only moved to Canada a few years ago so I am 100% Scottish from the old country
