| he Galloway Highlanders Pipes and Drums was formed in 1994 by Albert Rowe, when he and a group of students sitting around his kitchen table decided to share their love of piping with the community. Albert has been playing the pipes since age 11 and has played with numerous pipe bands throughout the Boston area before moving to Utah in 1974. The Rowe family has been at the core of the GHP&D since it was founded, with three generations of talent to come through the band. atterned after the Black Watch, the pipers wear the Royal Stewart tartan, while the drummers wear the tartan of the Black Watch. The band performs throughout the inter mountain region at various events and highland games as a member of the Western United States Pipe Band Association. The GHP&D has also toured numerous times to the Boston area and the Intermountain west. ince the band began it has played for many dignitaries such as, former British Prime Minister Margret Thacher during her visit to Utah for the UK-Utah Celebration.
