    Ah you bad man, made me get out those old programmes! Seriously, I was wondering myself.

    Some of those less-usual tartans and the bands that wore them, from the 2004 World Pipe Band Championships programme:

    Lady Borrowdale's Gift: Drambuie Kirkliston https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDrR0MYrKjs

    Princess Margaret Rose
    : Uddington Strathclyde https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT-gY-VoB7A

    Princess Elizabeth: Denny and Dunipace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUhHjD_tsus

    William Murdoch: City Of Edinburgh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSJST9gRLTs

    and this interesting one:

    I believe that Drambuie Kirkliston Pipe Band disbanded in 2005.

    Yes indeed, in the piping community we read about it in pipes/drums

    https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/U...ston-disbands/

    Sad when a very good band shuts down, loss of sponsor they give as the reason.

    However another thing is that they had just won their grade and were poised to be upgraded. I don't know why, but I've seen it happen several times with bands: they have consistent success in a particular grade, but when upgraded the wheels come off, sometimes before they play a single contest in the higher grade, sometimes after a short time in the higher grade.

    Which makes bands like Inveraray so impressive, that keep climbing grades and have continued success at every level.
