Drambuie Kirkliston Pipe Band

Photographic Gallery

As the success and the popularity of the band have grown, so have the invitations to perform at a wide range of events in some spectacular and unusual locations. What we have here is a small selection of photographs taken from some of these events. Click on a thumbnail photograph to see a larger version. As we encounter new experiences I'll try and capture them on film. So please return and see how the gallery develops.
