It is with great sadness, that we have heard today that Frank passed away at 8:30am this morning, Thursday 27th July 2023.
Frank was a piper in the band for many years on and off, and thoroughly enjoyed his time with the band.

Perth and District Pipe Band were honoured to be asked to perform live on Breakfast TV on Friday 23rd December 2022. We were joined by members of the Aberfeldy Community and Ukrainian Families. The BBC were covering a story of Ukrainians who had fled the war and made there way to Aberfeldy where they have been welcomed by the community, they were sharing their stories especially during the Christmas period.
Our members (30) arrived at 7:00am to play in temperatures -4, it was a great opportunity for us all.
