A Fraserburgh piper is looking forward to sharing his passion for music in the classroom after the summer.
Former Fraserburgh Academy and Dyce Music School pupil, Andrew Buchan, was “delighted” yesterday as he graduated with a bachelor in music and education.
The 23-year-old has secured a probationary teaching position at Banff Primary School and meantime is looking forward to jetting off to Tenerife on a “much-needed” holiday today.
A piper in his spare time, the rest of his summer will be taken up with piping championships as part of the Highland Granite Pipes and Drums band.
“I have played the pipes since I was seven and a half,” said Mr Buchan. “I remember seeing the pipe bands at a local gala – and from then on I was hooked – that’s when I decided I wanted to play the pipes too.
“Since then I have always known I wanted to do something musical. We all have to learn piano and guitar as part of the teacher training – so it’s been a great fit for me.
“I’m really looking forward to starting my teaching career.”
Mr Buchan was joined by his parents and grandparents as he graduated yesterday.

I posted it in light of concerns expressed by some with respect to the future of piping.

Okay, well that is related. So that was not the reason for posting this? I mean does this not occur all the time? Is this an unusual event?
To: Robert DeLong
I encounter lots of articles forecasting the end of pipes and drums. I should have commented on my original post - hope remains.

Ping me please.
Been in love with Scotland since I was a little girl. It started with a book and Scottish neighbors, then my son moved to Edinburg.
Second best reason for a trip to Edinburg is the pipes!
