Robin T - Traditional Highland Bagpiper for Hire

Introducing Robin T

Bio

Robin has been playing the Great Highland Bagpipe for over 13 years. Starting at 8 years old, he received lessons through his school from a Stirling Council instructor. Robin kept this instructor all through primary and secondary school, and it didn’t take long before Robin’s ability began to shine through.

In that time, Robin has played at a high level for two pipe bands, including The Doune Pipe Band and The McLaren High School Pipe Band, where he was elected as Pipe major by the head teacher in 2018. He has also played in band and solo competitions, receiving high accolades in both.

In the Summer of 2019, Robin attended a bagpipe summer school with The College of Piping, this truly catapulted Robin’s playing to the next level.

Robin has performed professionally at over 300 events across Scotland and worldwide, including weddings, funerals, parties, community events and fundraisers. He has played for various occasions, from celebrities and VIPs in London and weddings in Spain, to Military Tattoos in Belgium. He is also the resident piper for the famous Cromlix Hotel, and became the recommended supplier for the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh in 2024.

What made you learn?

“Robin started out his piping life in primary school where everyone was asked to pick an instrument to dabble in. Robin knew that he would love the bagpipes as soon as he made that choice. Every year, him and his family would visit the local Highland Games to hear the bands and he absolutely loved it. The rest is history”

Testimonials

“Robin played his pipes at our wedding and added so much to our special day. He was an utmost professional, but it was his enthusiasm and zest that was truly infectious. At a time when we were both nervous and unsure he quickly recognised that we needed a bit of leadership and steer. This was greatly appreciated. He even gave a bit of flair playing the New Zealand national anthem after the ceremony (groom is a kiwi).
Robin 100% exceeded all our expectations and went above and beyond. He brought so much more than just the pipes to our wedding. Thank you Robin, you made our unforgettable day so much richer”
“Robin was fantastic. Honestly the icing on top of the multi-tiered cake on our wedding day. Exceptional piper, friendly, modern, and faultless in terms of professionalism. Regular communication all the way up to the big day. For anyone questioning whether they should have a piper for their wedding/event. Pick Robin. You won’t regret it”

“We had a magnificent bagpiping and Celtic drumming performance at our wedding by the excellent Robin T and colleague. I was particularly in awe of their rendition of the Skye Boat Song as they piped us up to our top table, and was delighted to hear them as we rowed across Loch Ard. Thank you Robin for your part in an amazing day. Professional, talented and great lads the both of you”

“We first met Robin at a wedding open day, and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding piper. Not only does Robin have strong piping skills, playing a mixture of traditional and fun party tunes, his enthusiastic personality was a great addition to our day! A memorable moment was being piped in to our wedding meal to Avicii ‘Wake Me Up’ which had all of the guests in great spirits. Our guests enjoyed the photo opportunity with Robin too, which really added to the experience. Robin was professional in the run up to and on the day, and looked really smart in Black Stewart traditional dress. Thank you Robin for enhancing our Scottish wedding celebrations!”
“We had Robin for our elopement on Conic Hill, Loch Lomond. He really was a perfect addition and made our day another reason to remember it fondly. It was not just his amazing Bagpipe playing, but also his fun energy. His uniform looked amazing and his charming nature was loved by all. Our parents really loved Robin being there as much as we did and we are all still talking about him now. Would 100% recommend Robin, thanks again”
“Robin piped at our wedding on 14.04.2024 and was absolutely fantastic! Robin’s piping was the perfect addition to the day, traditional and meaningful before and after the ceremony and included a more modern spin later in the day. Robin was so professional and friendly to work with and really helpful in advising what would work and helping to come up with ideas. He also played some requests on the day which our guests loved! We would recommend Robin to anyone and so glad he was part of our day”
“Robin played at our wedding and to say he was 5 star would be an understatement. Robin played from an hour before the wedding as our guests arrived. He piped Elaine down the aisle and us both back, played during the drinks reception and then finally he piped us in to the reception. So many of our guests commented about Robin and how excellent he was and how he contributed hugely to a really great wedding. From the very start he was incredibly helpful with choice of Kilt to wear and a host of suggestions of tunes to play. Overall, we cannot speak highly enough of Robin who is totally professional but also so friendly and engaging. We would thoroughly recommend him”
“Very early on in our wedding planning we knew Robin was the one. We emailed the charming fellow, and immediately agreed on his wonderful nature, character and ability to influence our wedding. On the day his attention to detail is truly remarkable, the finish in his regalia was fantastic and was perfectly punctual. He started playing, and extended past what we had asked, simply a wonderful day made all the more special by Robin. We recommend him to anyone without hesitation, thank you so much once again”
“Robin played for my sister in law who was celebrating her 80th birthday. Robin was kind, courteous and accommodating. He took part in our planning to surprise her with enthusiasm and care. We will never forget how special this was, I can barely find the words to describe what wonderful memories we have created. Thank you so very much Robin, we are still buzzing, you are amazing”
“Hired Robin for a socially distanced garden performance. He was absolutely fantastic! Was a surprise for my partner as we were due to marry that day. Absolutely fantastic service and would definitely use him again”
“Robin played at my wedding and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s a lovely guy and amazing at what he does. Everyone loved him”
