The Strathmore Schools Pipe Band is incredibly grateful to the Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust for their generous support. Thanks to their funding, we have been able to host regular pipe band practices with a skilled music instructor. This has had a profound impact on our pupils, enhancing their musical abilities and fostering a sense of teamwork and pride.

Our pipe band project provides free music tuition to over 150 pupils across Blairgowrie and the surrounding rural areas, ensuring that young people have access to high-quality musical education regardless of their background. The Trust’s support has been instrumental in helping us continue this mission, and we deeply appreciate their commitment to nurturing the next generation of musicians.
