Isla St Clair presents 10,000 Pipers

This short clip presented by Isla St Clair is from a documentary filmed in August 2000, when thousands of pipers and drummers gathered in Edinburgh to raise money for Cancer Care and play bagpipes.

The parade (also known as Millenium Pipes)included the Massed Pipes and Drums of the Edinburgh Tattoo, Scottish Power Pipe Band, Strathclyde Police Pipe Band as well as solo champions Roddy MacLeod and Gordon Walker. Directed by Patrick King the film is now available on a compilation DVD called 'Pipers on Parade'. For more information on how to get the DVD contact the producers - highlandclassics - website.
