About Us

The Utah Pipe Band was formed in 1937 by Robert S. Barclay, and is still under the direction of the Barclay family today. We are the oldest, continuously organized Scottish bagpipe band in the Western United States.

The band has competed in major pipe band competitions throughout the Western United States.

We also have a troupe of award-winning highland dancers who travel and perform with us.

Members of the band come from all over Northern Utah.
