The College of Piping is the oldest teaching institution in Glasgow offering lessons in Scotland's national instrument to musicians of all levels of proficiency. The instructors at the College are of the highest calibre and there are certified examinations at every level.
Established in 1944, The College of Piping (CoP) is based on Otago Street in Cowcadden in the West End of Glasgow. The area is close to the University of Glasgow campus and has a wealth of cafés and bars, antiques and book shops for students to explore when taking a break from their bagpipe music lessons.
The College of Piping also houses the only independent museum in the world which is wholly devoted to the highland bagpipe. There is an unrivalled collection of instruments on display and extensive archives of writings on the subject of the bagpipe.
