Achiltibuie Bagpipe Specialists (by the way, you pronounce it - ach ill tee boo ee) was set up by Major Bruce Hitchings MBE BEM in 2000.  He has developed a range of ingenious Highland Bagpipe products and accessories which make the life of a piper easier.

These bagpipe accessories have been developed over a lifetime of playing pipes and are the result of the frustration that anyone who has played the Highland Bagpipe will have felt.  All our products allow you more time to actually enjoy your piping and all are guaranteed for one year.

In addition to the products Bruce has developed we also carry a range of quality Highland Bagpipes and supplies.  They are all products we would use personally.  All pipes sold by us are pre-tested and the reeds are set up prior to despatch. 
They arrive at your door ready to play.

We are committed to service quality and our aim is to ensure that our customers are satisfied at all times with all our bagpipe accessories.
Our knowledgeable and helpful staff are an email away.

Amateur and professional Pipers not only from Scotland, but musicians from around the world have been the catalyst for the growing range of piping instruments, accessories and musical tuition aids that can be purchased form Highland Reeds.
