Such a fun and unique experience

We booked this on a whim and it ended up being one of our favourite things in Edinburgh. Roddy explained everything clearly and made it really easy to have a go. Lots of laughs and great photo moments too.

Oliver Says

A brilliant group activity

We did this as part of a group visit and everyone loved it. Even those with no musical background enjoyed trying the chanter. Relaxed, friendly and really memorable.

Perfect introduction to Scottish culture

I’d never seen the bagpipes up close before, let alone tried them. The workshop was informative but fun, and it felt like a genuine cultural experience rather than a lesson.
