The museum and school are devoted to the bagpipe, this peculiar yet instantly recognisable Scottish instrument. The main exhibit documents the 300-year history of bagpiping, from its creation and manufacture to its place in modern-day culture. The centre runs events that will let you try inflating the bagpipes, though you will need a pair of hearty lungs! It offers a range of lessons for all ages, plus immersive courses and one-to-one tuition. You can recover your strength afterwards at the Piper’s Tryst restaurant, or buy a set of bagpipes in its shop.
