Nowadays known as the movie stars of the piping world, since starring in the 2010 feature documentary On the Day, the Spirit of Scotland Pipe Band are among the newest Grade 1 competing outfits on the circuit, having formed as an international all-star line-up to enter the 2008 World Pipe Band Championships – their double-quick preparation for and subsequent progress in that contest forming the narrative of On the Day. Under Pipe Major Roddy MacLeod MBE, they comprise members from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia and the USA.
Fellow Grade 1 stalwarts the Lothian and Borders Police Pipe Band, originally formed in 1882 as the Edinburgh City Police Pipers, are currently led by Pipe Major Neil Hall and Drum Major Jacob Jørgensen.
