College of Piping

If they don't know the answer to your questions up at the college of piping it probably is'nt worth knowing. I purchased my fletcher pipes at the college, I was plied with coffee and biscuits and watched as they put my pipes together - brilliant.
Andrew Lenz's bagpipejourney.com

A fantastic resource for pipers of all abilities, there are many articles of interest here. Everything from drone reed identification to what you should have in your pipe case.
Rob Watt Scottish Piper

Rob covers the areas of London & Southern England. Available for weddings, funerals etc. Rob plays the great highland pipes as well as the Scottish smallpipes, with an exemplary biography Robs site is well worth a visit.
Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association R.S.P.B.A.

As they so succinctly put it 'At the heart of the pipe band world'. Competition results, useful articles, learning materials etc. Another fantastic resource for pipe band members the world over.
McIntyre Studios

All and any types of digital imaging and manipulation. You'd be amazed at what can be done with an old photo. Canvas or digital if you can think it we can do it. The brothers McIntyre other not so little business.
Bob Shepherd Seminar Info

Members of our pipe band had the priviledge of attending one of Bob Shepherds MAP seminars and found it to be a fantastic resource. The link here will take you to some of the seminar resources. Well worth a look
The Bagpipe Web Directory

A great guide to bagpiping on the web. If your looking for a pipe band, a teacher or piping related chat rooms this is the place to start.
Bowes Bags

I often get questions asking about hide inner bags, the bag that hold the air rather than the cover! I can heartily recommend bowes bags as the ultimate in sheepskin bags, just have a look to see how many grade 1 bands use bowes bags
North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Pipe Band

One of the finest pipe bands in the North (okay I may be a little biased). Based in Thirsk Fire Station and practicing on Tuesday evenings, they are always willing to encourage new memberrs of any or no ability to learn either the pipes or drums.
McCallum Bagpipes

Definitely worth considering if your thinking about a new set of bagpipes. Good value for money and their clasp collection is eye candy worth drooling over. I use a McCallum blackwood practice chanter and swear by it.
A J Fletcher Ltd

Bagpipe makers again based in Glasgow. I can't praise these pipes highly enough, I purchased my set of Fletcher pipes through the college of piping and find they have a fantastic tone, first class.
MacLeod Highland Supplies

Based in Glasgow and always willing to help they can kit out your pipe band, provide you with pipes and drums and still do it at a reasonable price.
