"When we enquired if Andrew would be available for my Father's funeral, i was extremly impressed by the personal empathy he has shown in making sure the music was as we would like. I cannot explain the emotions experienced in having Andrew pipe my Father's Hurst arriving to the crematorium , my Father would have loved every second. The sound was pitch perfect, a credit to a true musician, every note resonated true feelings, for which I cannot thank Andrew enough. You only have one chance to say goodbye, and I wouldn't want anyone other than Andrew as my piper to portray those emotions. "

"My husband and I would like to thank Arkleston Piping for the service they provided at our wedding on Sunday at Rowallan Castle. George was extremely helpful with all of the planning and is impeccable with communication. Our piper on the day was Gordon who played our requested songs when entering and leaving our ceremony perfectly. An extremely professional service who we would not hesitate in recommending for any special event. Thank you again!"

"Richard Just wanted to say a big thanks again for your fantastic contribution to the day...walking Hannah into the ceremony room to Highland Cathedral was very emotional and captured the moment. Scotland the Brave involved everyone as you piped them back as the married couple. Also playing outside was a bonus. I thoroughly enjoyed my attempt to blow a note and I thank you for that... pictures have been circulated and this has only enhanced my reputation. "

"Spud brings everything you need to every occasion. He is an excellent musician and a larger than life personality. As our Hotel Piper he represents us all during the Summer and he brings traditional Scottish charm and class to all gatherings. He is more than a Piper he is a musical force of nature with heart of solid gold and I am proud to have him as a true friend."
