The Wild Highlanders |
The Tampa Bay Pipe Band |
|
| Scot Cameron, the current Chief of The Wild Highlanders, carries on the traditions of a true Scottish Highland Clan, passed to him by his Father, Alex Cameron, the former Chief of this fine Clan, who has since retired. Like his father, Scot has put his hand to the craft of singing steel and bone into weapons and fashioning leather like a true Lorimer, as his father once did, keeping alive the tradition of fashioning fine Scottish Highland weapons and accessories. Scot and his Clan of Wild Highlanders will put on shows throughout the festival, telling of the making and the history behind the weapons, as well as teaching about the "Great Kilt" and how it was worn. The most fun you'll have while being educated. |
The Tampa Bay Pipes & Drums have performed throughout the Southeastern United States. In addition to participating at the Scottish Highland games around the Southeast, they also perform yearly at the Florida State Fair, The Gasparilla Night parade in Tampa Florida, the Tampa St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Chasco Fiesta parade. The band serves the Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, and City of Largo Police Departments for ceremonies and memorial services. |
