The band were founded in Dublin, Ireland in 1910 and based in the suburb of Tallaght. They are led by Pipe Major Terry Tully.

The Cowal Highland Gathering took place in Dunoon at the weekend, and among other events there is the final major pipe band championship of the year.

As is traditional, after the results were announced many of the massed bands then paraded down Argyll Street as an impressive finale to the three-day gathering which attracts thousands of visitors to the area.
