West of Scotland SNP MSP Stuart McMillan has today (Friday) spoken of his delight at hearing that the Strathclyde Police Pipe Band is to be saved. After months of uncertainty for the Band, the official announcement that they are to continue comes as they prepare for the coming piping season.
Mr. McMillan campaigned from the outset with the College of Piping to save the Band.
Mr. McMillan said;
“I am absolutely delighted the band has been saved. I know the band members are thrilled to know their future is secure and thank Strathclyde Police for listening to the views put to them and reaching this positive decision.
“The tireless campaigning by the College of Piping and other band supporters is to be commended and I’m pleased it all paid off.
“I hope the band can now go from strength to strength with their new members and hope old members consider rejoining now the future is stable.
“The band are ambassadors for Scotland and are now able to put the uncertainty of the past few months behind them and concentrate on the upcoming piping season, which I am sure they cannot wait to get underway”.
