Podcasts to listen to on your commute. Schools to spend a week at. Books to keep on the shelf. Gear worth owning. This is the hub — pick a direction and go deeper.
This hub is growing. Podcasts, schools and books are live. Gear, videos, and events are next — community submissions welcome at every step.
Each tile is a standalone directory. Two are open now — the rest will land as we get to them. If there's a category you'd like us to prioritize, let us know.
Five verified-active shows covering Highland piping, pipe band news, historic tune research, and long-form conversations with pipers and drummers. Plus honorable mentions for the adjacent and the dormant.
Residential summer schools, winter academies, a West-Coast school tied to a Highland Games, and the institutional home of Highland piping in Glasgow. Type-tagged so you can find the format that fits your schedule.
A curated reading list — tutors, technique manuals, practice- method guides, and the histories that shaped the tradition. Level-tagged so you pick the right book at the right stage.
Bagpipes, reeds, drones, bags, pipe cases, maintenance tools — honest notes on what's worth the money, what lasts, and what to skip. Vendor-neutral, community-informed.
YouTube channels, online academies, and lesson platforms worth subscribing to. From tutorial-style walkthroughs to performance archives and competition coverage.
Highland games, championships, festivals, and the big calendar dates every piper should know about. Regional coverage plus the majors.
The piping world is rich but scattered. Recommendations live in forum threads, Facebook groups, and the personal blogs of pipers who mean well but update rarely.
This hub exists to consolidate what's worth your time — with verification dates, honest caveats, and a "what you won't find here" section on every page. No affiliate-chasing, no filler, no padding with dead links.
A podcast, a school, a book, a piece of gear, a video series — if it belongs here and doesn't show up yet, tell us. The community keeps this current.
