The band has launched its 2027 calendar, along with an exhibition (which will run until late January) of the calendar photos at The Loft in Haddington. Photographs for this year’s calendar were taken by Nick Callaghan, Daniel Hogarth, Garry Menzies, and Emma Orphant, and among the images are a photograph showing the band at Edinburgh Castle, as well as Davie Leckie running off with Haddington Rugby Club’s ball. Piper Davie Paterson is shown at Gullane beach while drummer Tara Murray is pictured at Haddington’s bonfire night.

The calendar is now on sale in local outlets, cost £8.50, with income from sales going to instruments, uniforms, tuition, and other initiatives which enable the band to perform and play its role within the local community. The calendar can also be ordered by emailing calendar@haddingtonpipeband.co.uk.
