The Lowland and Border Pipers' Society was formed in the early 1980s, [1] to promote the study and playing of cauld-wind (bellows-blown) bagpipes of Northern England and south-east Scotland, such as the Scottish smallpipes, pastoral pipes, and border pipes. The organisation holds events and competitions, supplies instructional materials, and publishes a journal, Common Stock. The title of the journal refers to the array of drones on Lowland bagpipes, which are grouped together in a "common stock" rather than separately attached to the bag, such as on the Great Highland bagpipe. The society has played a key role in the success of the revival of the bellows bagpipe traditions of Scotland.
