We offer world class tuition at all levels and in all teaching styles to suit your needs and location.

Close to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, we incorporate a school with rehearsal rooms and an Auditorium. We also house the Museum of Piping, a reference library, as well as conference facilities, hotel and restaurant.

The National Piping Centre provides facilities of the very highest quality for both the piping and non-piping fraternity. Visitors and regulars, from both home and abroad, will equally enjoy the experience, whether they come for study, performance, or pleasure.
