Cape Town Highlanders Pipe Band Association

About Cape Town Highlanders Pipe Band Association

The Cape Town Highlanders Pipe Band Association is a prestigious, historic musical and cultural institution based at the Regimental Headquarters within the Castle Barracks on Newmarket Street in the Foreshore district of Cape Town. Formed as part of South Africa’s oldest active reserve military pipe bands (dating back to 1889), this civilian and volunteer veteran association preserves traditional Scottish piping, drumming, and military-ceremonial heritage. Wearing the iconic Gordon tartan, the ensemble performs at national tattoos, memorial parades, civic events, and private bookings across the country.
