College of Piping in Glasgow, Scotland

College of Piping in Glasgow, Scotland

The College of Piping in Glasgow, Scotland, was founded in 1944 by Seamus MacNeill and Thomas Pearston to pass on Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe playing (Gaelic : "A' Phìob Mhòr") traditions of Ceòl Mòr (Piobaireachd) and Ceòl Beag (Light Music) through offering bagpipe lessons, as well as to preserve the heritage of the Great Highland Bagpipe through its museum, piping artifacts, collection of manuscripts and memorabilia.

Seamus MacNeill and Thomas Pearston also published the first of four volumes of the “College of Piping Highland Bagpipe Tutor” in 1960. This Bagpipe Tutor was first translated into Scottish Gaelic in 2008. [ [http://www.bord-na-gaidhlig.org.uk/default.aspx.locid-006new05z.Lang-EN.htm - Developing Gaelic for Scotland] ]

The College of Piping also publishes “Piping Times” as well as books about bagpiping. Seamus MacNeill was its editor from 1948 to 1996.

Robert Wallace is the current principal of the College of Piping, as well as the editor of “Piping Times.” As of 2008, "Piping Times" is available in an online format.

The College of Piping in Glasgow is a registered charity in the United Kingdom.
