Three P.A. pipe band members set to perform, present to Royal Family in Scotland
Among thousands of patrons, highland dancers, pipers, drummers, heavy athletics and celebration of all things Scottish at the Braemar Gathering in Scotland this September will be three men from Prince Albert.
Derek Sinclair, Michael McLaughlan, and David Monette from the Prince Albert Highlanders Pipes and Drums will join fellow Canadians in the Pipes and Drums of Canada convoy set to perform at the Gathering, which has been regularly attended by the Royal Family since 1848 when Queen Victoria first made an appearance.
The Gathering, which is the most famous and best-attended Highland Games in Scotland, dates back 900 years. This site is iconic, rich in history, and located at the bottom of heather-clad mountains.
The groups performance on Sept. 1 is part of a fifteen-day tour of Scotland by the troupe, which will include appearances in places like St. Andrews and Carlyle.
