Current Champions

Peoples Ford Boghall & Bathgate Caledonia are the current World Pipe Band Champions. They fought off stiff competition from runners-up – and 2022 champions – Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band of Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Last year’s runners-up, Inveraray and District Pipe Band, finished in third place.


This is the long-established Scottish pipe band’s first-ever World Champions win.


Around 35,000 spectators descended on Glasgow Green across two days to watch 190 bands and thousands of pipers and drummers compete.
