Photos of the Commando Basic Training Centre Demonstration Troop/Pipes and Drums

The Pipes and Drums band was based at the Commando Depot, later known as the Commando Basic Training Centre (CBTC) at Achnacarry. Major James Dunning, No.4 Cdo and later on the staff at the CBTC wrote about the training at Achnacarry in his book It Had To Be Tough "A lot of our Instruction hinged on demonstrations by both my two NCO's and the Achnacarry Demonstration Troop. The latter had a busy time for it not only gave demonstrations, but doubled as the Pipe Band". Pipe Major MacLauchlan was in charge.
