Cameron MacLeod Gair Bagpiper from Huntington Beach, CA

Hello, I am Cameron MacLeod Gair, award-winning bagpiper from Inverness, Scotland. My bagpipe life began in the Highlands of Scotland where I started learning from top players in the country. The excellent instruction continued when I moved to Orange County, CA in 2004. Kathleen Nicholson Graham (founder of Nicholson Pipes & Drums) took over my instruction and I have been a member of this band for over 8 years. Latterly, I was taught by Colin Armstrong (Pipe Major of the World-Class LA Scots Pipe Band). Now, I have established an extensive repertoire of both traditional and contemporary Scottish & Irish tunes. Whether as a band or playing solo, I have played at countless events such as weddings, funerals, parties, graduations, law enforcement & fire department ceremonies, military affairs, and more! In addition to gigs and events, I have also performed competitively throughout the world. I have returned to the UK and won various prizes and have become the Western United States Grade 2 Champion in 2011. I have now reached Grade 1 competition level, am teaching the bagpipes, and continue to dedicate my time for any ceremony or gig where needed.
