I have been playing the bagpipes for 15 years, under tuition from Roddy MacLeod MBE at the National Piping Centre. At the age of 14, I joined ‘The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland’ and performed onstage with the biggest names in traditional music such as Carlos Nunez, Phil Cunningham, Brian McNeil and Fred Morrison. My biggest influence is my cousin Phil Smillie, who is an original member of the folk trailblazers ‘The Tannahill Weavers’

I’ve toured the world with the world famous ‘Red Hot Chilli Pipers’ for the past 8 years and recorded on their CD’s ‘Music for the Kilted Generation’, ‘Breathe’, ‘Octane’ and recently appeared on their acclaimed DVD ‘Live at the Lake’, filmed in America.

Some of my notable performances have been recording on the soundtrack to the Dreamworks film ‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’, appearing in a video with Nicki Minaj on MTV, playing on the MainStage at Scotland’s biggest music festival ’T in the Park’, playing at the Golf Masters for Gary Player in Augusta, playing at the Hong Kong Sevens but my most memorable is performing with Ed Sheeran at the EMA Awards.

  • We were lucky enough to have Dougie the Piper play at a corporate Highland games on Loch Lomond for one of our prestigious clients, and he literally blew them away! Talented, charming and totally professional, he was the highlight of the day! Our summer diary is packed with team building events for overseas clients who want to see the best of Scotland so we’ll definitely be getting Dougie involved – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, whatever the event!

Whether it’s a traditional Fling at a corporate function or bagrocking with the Chilli Pipers at a festival, Dougie’s incredible playing is always the perfect accompaniment. Our dancers love him, our clients love him, and we guarantee you will too!

    FLINGS AND THINGS

  • I had all my wedding plans sorted until i saw on Facebook that Dougie piped at weddings aswell as his busy Red Hot Chilli Pipers schedule. Plans quickly changed, from the first contact, he was great. Friendly & accomodating with our plans & he helped me choose my song to walk down the aisle to. After the church he piped at the venue & got involved with photos… he even rescued some of our wedding party who due to a misunderstanding with our car company got stranded at the church.. so he is a great taxi driver too! Haha. My guests commented on how pitch perfect he was… and how down to earth & friendly he was. Very professional & smartly presented and very reasonably priced, we could not have had anyone better! He is a great lad and i would HIGHLY recommend Dougie to other brides/grooms for their big day, not only a fantastic bagpiper but a famous one too! Hehe will have all your guests talking! Here is a small memory from our day. Thank you Dougie!
