The Edinburgh City Police Pipe Band was one of the most universally recognised and successful pipe bands of all time. In its 130-year history it won virtually every competition award and accolade available.

The album represents Pipe Major Iain McLeod’s personal selection of tracks from the Band’s five albums under his leadership (four on EMI Waverley and one on Fontana). It illustrates that the quality of the Band’s performances has stood the test of time over more than half a century, despite considerable advances in recording equipment and instrument technology.
