- Piper_to_the_Sovereign abstract "The Piper to the Sovereign (or the Queen's Piper) is a position in the British Royal Household in which the holder of the office is responsible for playing the bagpipes at the Sovereign's request.The position was established in 1843 when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited the Marquess of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle a year earlier and discovered the Marquess had his own personal piper. The Queen was taken with the idea of having one for herself, writing to her mother, the Dowager Duchess of Kent:We have heard nothing but bagpipes since we have been in the beautiful Highlands and I have become so fond of it that I mean to have a Piper, who can if you like it, pipe every night at Frogmore.The office has been held continuously since then (apart from a brief interruption during World War II) and the piper's main duty is to play at 9am for 15 minutes under the Sovereign's window, and on state occasions.The first Piper to the Sovereign was Angus MacKay, a noted collector and publisher of piobaireachd. Every subsequent piper has been a serving non-commissioned officer and experienced Pipe Major from a Scottish regiment. While the Piper is a member of the Royal Household, he retains his military rank for the duration of the secondment.1843–1854: Angus MacKay1854–1891: PM William Ross, 42nd Highlanders (Black Watch)1891–1910: PM James Campbell, 42nd Highlanders (Black Watch)1910–1941: PM Henry Forsyth, Scots Guards1941–1945: None1945–1965: PM Alexander MacDonald, Scots Guards1965–1973: PM Andrew Pitkeathly, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders1973–1980: PM David Caird, Royal Highland Fusiliers1980–1995: PM Brian MacRae, Gordon Highlanders1995–1998: PM Gordon Webster, Scots Guards1998–2003: PM Jim Motherwell, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders2003–2006: PM Jim Stout, The Highlanders, 1st Battalion2006–2008: PM Alastair Cuthbertson, 1st Battalion, The Royal Scots2008–2012: PM Derek Potter RVM, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards2012–present: PM David Rodgers, Irish Guards↑ ↑ 2.0 2.1".
