Highland Mist Pipe Band
Kanata, Ontario, Canada
About the band
The Highland Mist Pipe Band is a community pipe and drum band that is based in Kanata, Ontario. The band participates in parades and events in the local community and surrounding region. In addition to performances, the band also provides group-based instruction in a relaxed and supportive student-oriented environment.
Since 2001 the band has enjoyed a close relationship with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 638 in Kanata, Ontario. Our members include military veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and others who subscribe to the proud traditions of the Legion. We thank the Legion and its members for being such strong and encouraging supporters of the band.
We proudly wear the Ancient Caledonia Tartan. This Tartan was popular in the 18th Century and it is claimed that this tartan is a contemporary of the Jacobite Tartan and was worn as a protest against the Union of (English and Scottish) Parliaments in 1707. There are several variations of this strikingly colourful Tartan. The Caledonia (and Jacobite) Tartans were considered to be “general” tartans and often worn by “clan-less” Scots. Today’s colourful designs have been stabilized following introduction of chemical dies over the past century.
The Highland Mist logo was designed by Piper Arthur French.
