The Stuart Highlanders Pipe Band (SHPB) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to sharing, cultivating, and preserving the music and tradition of Scottish culture through piping and drumming.

A Distinguished Legacy

Over the past 60 years, the Stuart Highlanders have established a legacy of performing at the highest level, bringing the dramatic sound of the pipes and drums to some of the world’s most prestigious and historically significant venues, including:

• 9/11 Observance Concert, Capitol Center for the Arts
• Boston Marathon Bombing Memorial, Fenway Park, Boston
• Piping Live – Glasgow, Scotland
• Basel Tattoo – Basel, Switzerland
• Governor Mitt Romney’s Inaugural
• Harvard University Commencement
• Montreal, Quebec Invitational Concert – Montreal International Celt Fest
• Tornado Relief Fund – The Big E Coliseum
• The Chieftains, Special Guest Performance
• New Hampshire Highland Games, Invitational Concert

And of course, parades! As a fixture across New England, we have marched in countless parades to proudly honor St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans’ Day and many other celebrations.

Beyond the stage and award-winning competitions, the Stuart Highlanders true passion lies in fostering the pipe band tradition through comprehensive education and mentorship. For six decades, the band’s members have continually mentored the next generation of musicians to become award-winning soloists and distinguished pipe bands. Our unwavering commitment to education fuels the growth of piping and drumming talent across the region, ensuring the traditions of our heritage are passed with passion and precision—one student, one band at a time.

In a fitting tribute to our founder, Archie MacLeod, the Stuart Highlanders also established the Archie MacLeod Memorial Scholarship. It is awarded annually to members who are looking to further their piping and drumming education.
