The Angus Scott Pipe Band - A Celtic Experience!
Our Beginning
The Angus Scott Pipe Band was formed in 1955 and is the oldest continuing bagpipe band in the Spokane & Coeur d'Alene area.
The band was named in memory of Pipe Major Angus Scott of Kimberley B.C. His enthusiasm and support for the project had much influence on the Scottish community in the Inland Empire.

The primary objectives of the Angus Scott Pipe Band are:
- To promote public awareness of Scottish heritage and traditions through the instruction and performance of highland bagpiping and drumming.
- To promote quality playing and performing as an educational venture for the general public.
- On a non-discriminatory basis, to teach, promote and foster the proper techniques needed to perform on the Scottish bagpipe, bass drum, tenor drum, and snare drum.
