The Sons of Scotland Pipe Band of Ottawa
Established 1896
If you are interested in joining the Sons of Scotland as a piper or drummer, drop us a line. Our history dates back to 1896, but the mandate stays the same - provide free instruction to those who wish to learn, and then go into the community to present that music. We welcome players to get in touch about lessons, and come out when they are ready to join our classes. We don't currently have beginner instruction, so if you're looking for lessons to get started in either piping or drumming, you can
email the Pipe Major, Bethany Bisaillion at sospb@sospb.com for information on private tuition and when the band practices will start, and how to attend when you're ready.
To book the band, send an email to Band Manager Donald MacDonald at Donald@sospb.com

NEW BEER RELEASE !
There is a rich Scottish history in our Capital City, and what better way to recognize it than with great beer and amazing music? In partnership with the Ottawa City Piping College (a non-profit organization), we brewed a special beer to celebrate the 50th anniversary of organized piping and drumming in our region. Scottawa is a crisp, dry-hopped lager that will quench your thirst on a summer patio and have you jumping out of your kilts. A portion of sales will be donated to the college to help with scholarships, seminars and purchasing of musical instruments. Together, we can help keep the music, history and fellowship strong.
Available now for pickup, home delivery and Ontario shipping (online orders at www.straydogbrewing.ca).

We are very pleased to have contacted the wonderful people at the new Stirling Distillery, and plans are in place for us to visit and do a shop on our next trip to Scotland and Stirling - have a look at their shop here and see what they have - it's really fantastic!

tartan day and pipefest, 2020
April was a month in which we saw many events postponed or cancelled because of so many changes to our daily lives. In the spirit of giving back and helping others, we decided to play on Tartan Day itself, Monday April 6, at 2 retirement homes to help raise funds for the Pipefest chosen charity here in Ottawa - the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. If you would like to make a donation, please click here for more details. We thank you, and wish you all great health and happiness at this most extraordinary time.
