This 1986 photo from the Chronicle archives shows a South Shields Scottish Pipe Band who were asked to play at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. The 12th South Shields Company of the Boys Brigade Scottish Pipe Band were among 700 Scottish pipers lining the turf at Meadowbank Stadium.
Members were taught how to play the pipes by 78-year-old former pipe major, Dan McLean, from Oban who lived on South Tyneside for many years.
Pictured Debbie White and other members of the band honoured by the Scots.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A swirl of kilts, a skirl of the bagpipes and its 'Geordie the brave. ' This print from 1986 takes us back to a momentous occasion when the South Shields Scottish Pipe Band showcased their exceptional talent at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. As one of 700 Scottish pipers gathered at Meadowbank Stadium, these young musicians left an indelible mark on this grand event. The band's remarkable skills were cultivated under the guidance of Dan McLean, an esteemed former pipe major from Oban who dedicated his knowledge to teaching them. Despite being 78 years old, Mr. McLean's passion for piping resonated with each member as they honed their craft. In this snapshot, we see Debbie White and her fellow bandmates proudly representing their community while being honored by the Scots themselves. The vibrant colors of their swirling kilts symbolize both tradition and unity as they stand united in musical harmony. This image captures not only a significant moment for these talented individuals but also serves as a testament to the power of music in bringing people together across cultures and borders. It is a reminder that through dedication and collaboration, even small communities can make a lasting impact on global stages.
