Handcrafting a tradition of excellence
Inveran has always been a major player in the bagpipe makers’ list of top-quality craftsman and that tradition continues on today, particularly in the east of Scotland.
Inveran’s founder, Jimmy Tweedie, was a master craftsman, handcrafting bagpipes for some of the most famous pipers all over the world. Jimmy’s success was attributed to his dedication in perfecting the “Stradivarius of the bagpipe”, and ensuring that every instrument that left his traditional workshop was of the highest quality.
Jimmy passed on his art to two young apprentices, Brian Donaldson and Craig Scott, ensuring that they would continue in traditional bagpipe making to the present day.
Sadly, Jimmy is no longer with us, but his love of and dedication to producing the finest quality instrument continues today under the watchful eye of one of those apprentices, Pipe Major Brian Donaldson in its current premises in the burgh of Auchtermuchty, kingdom of Fife.
