One of Scotland's longest established folk groups.

Formed during the great surge of interest in traditional and Celtic music and song in the late 1960s, The Whistlebinkies evolved into a leading force in their field. They led the revival in the use of the bellows-blown bagpipes in Scotland and were among the first to combine the three national instruments (fiddle, bagpipe and clarsach) in regular performance.

Their repertoire is drawn from all periods of Scottish music and from all regions of the country.
