National Piping Centre & The Pipers’ Tryst Hotel

The feel

The National Piping Centre is a beautiful building, built in 1872 by the architects Douglas and Sellers. Regarded as an Italianate church with a distinctly Tuscan tower, it also has a mixture of Greek elements with a simple facade giving it a traditional yet modest look.

Greet your guests in style with a piper playing traditional celebration tunes to usher them in to the Pipers Tryst Restaurant or Museum of Piping before heading up the spiral staircases leading to the large ceremony auditorium. The large stained glass windows of the blue room provide an atmospheric and ambient location for your drinks reception.

The National Piping Centre is a superb setting for your Scottish ceremony, accommodating up to 120 seated guests. Ceremonies conducted with the auditorium can be civil, humanist or religious. With 8 beautifully designed adjoining bedrooms and several large hotels nearby your guests can party the night away to celebrate your big day.
