Battle of the Bagpipes

Battle of the Bagpipes will lift the lid on piping traditions, culture, and its star players as they all compete for the ultimate piping prize. Following military and civilian pipe bands all striving to be the best of the best, this new series proves that piping is not for the faint-hearted.

Viewers will uncover the fiercely competitive audition process for the Lone Piper at the Royal Military Tattoo and follow new recruits taking part in their first piping competition in the hope to be selected for a once-in-a-lifetime piping opportunity to perform for the King. Meanwhile, long-time rival pipe bands go head-to-head at the fiercest competition in the piping world: Glasgow's World Pipe Band Championships.
