Guelph Pipe Band: Celebrating 100 Years
Guelph Civic Museum 52 Norfolk Street, Guelph, Ontario, CanadaThe creation of a pipe band was inspired by the Guelph Burns Club, which celebrated poet Robbie Burns in the local Scottish diaspora.

The Guelph Pipe Band was officially formed in the fall of 1922.
