Boys' National Pipe Band Costumes: Canada


Figure 1.--Here we see what is repoortedly a school pipe band in Canada. We are not sure what the name of the school is.

Canada is another country where significant numbers of Scotts emigrated. There is even a province named New Scotland--Nova Scotia. There are of course Scotts in other Canadian provinces. Thus we see a number of Canadian pipe bands. The pipe bands are almost all Scottish as far as we can tell. There was also Irish emigration to Canada, although not on the sam,e scale as the Irish migration to America. I'm not sure just who is sponsoring the pipe bands in Canada. I believe that at least some are sponsored by schools, but have few dertails at this time. There are probably some ethnic organizations sponsoring pipe bands as well. Hopefully some of our Canadian readers will know more. A reader tells us, "The tartan worn here is the 'Hunting Macpherson' or to clansmen it is known as 'The Cluny'."
