1st Thistle Highlanders Drums and Pipes e.V.
Weilerswist
Most people associate Scotland with: whiskey, the breathtaking, rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape, sheep – and plenty of them, Highland Games (especially caber tossing), Scottish history, which has been brought closer to us especially through the "Outlander" adaptations:Kilts, tartans, haggis, and – last but not least – bagpipe music.
Since we all have a passion for music and Scotland, we came together as a band to learn the different instruments of the band according to our passions and to make music together for ourselves and for others. Naturally, we predominantly play Scottish melodies. However, that's not all.
Our repertoire is wide-ranging.
