National Piping Centre, Museum and school of bagpipes in Cowcaddens, Scotland.
The National Piping Centre maintains a collection of historical bagpipes, manuscripts, and medals spanning three centuries of Scottish musical tradition.
The institution, established in 1996 by Sir Brian Ivory, Lady Oona Ivory, and Sandy Grant Gordon CBE, operates from a former Category B listed church building.
The Museum of Piping exhibits the Iain Dall MacKay Chanter, recognized as the oldest bagpipe component in existence, alongside European bagpipe variations.
Visitors can access the museum Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and weekends from 9 AM to 3 PM, with admission priced at 5 pounds.
The center offers hands-on experiences where visitors can test practice chanters and learn fundamental bagpipe techniques during guided sessions.
