The band consists of 2 main instruments; bagpipes and drums, and plays mainly Scottish songs, with variety of other songs including English, Malaysian, Chinese and Indian songs.

The band was formed by their 2 main person; Amirul Mazlan, whose main task is to oversee the band management and handling the administrative task of the band, and also Alif Akbar, whose specializes in managing the musical aspects of the band. Currently we have 12 players playing the bagpipes and 6 players playing the drums (including the bass drum).
The band adopted Scottish style of playing in their music, as well as their uniforms. The uniform consists of kilts (with a matching tartan for every members), sporrans and other accessories including glengarries, plaids, belts and socks.
Each members of the band have at least 10 years of experience in playing their instruments. Some of the events that we had attended previously including the yearly Merdeka parade, Earth Hour 2009, Malaysia World Band Competition 2009, and lots of other weddings and corporate events around Malaysia.
The band trains every Sunday evening at Lake Garden and the training session will last for at least 3 hours per session. The training session normally starts with the band member practising new songs or revision in previous learnt songs for about an hour, and practise with real instruments (bagpipe and drums) for about 2 hours, including doing marching and some other basic routines.
At the moment each person is responsible in funding for their own instruments and uniforms.
