Band Uniform

The Barossa & District Pipe Band proudly wears the MacCallum Ancient Tartan which was chosen by the first Pipe Major from his own family heritage. The MacCallum Ancient Tartan is seen in our kilts and is also part of the wallpaper used on this website. The cost of the uniform is quite considerable and members have been fundraising and performing to assist with the cost of purchasing the components of the uniform which is always an ongoing expense.

Ghillie Brogues are the traditional footwear worn with today’s highland dress.

The band wears the Glengarry as it’s traditional headress.

The Glengarry Hat’s history is closely linked to Scottish military and clan tradition. It was originally worn by Scottish Highland Regiments, but gained in popularity during the early nineteenth century. The hat’s unique design allowed soldiers to wear and remove it easily, even when wearing a kilt.

The band wears a very unique hat badge on the Glengarry and as a logo on our bagpipe covers, which was designed and manufactured to aptly represent the Pipes and Drums we play with a reference to the Grapevines which are symbolic of the famous South Australian Barossa Wine region in which we are fortunate to live.
