For many years local Pipe Bands have entertained the residents and visitors to Moffat. Between the two World Wars, the Band was composed of members of the local Territorial Army and Army Cadet Force. After the Second World War ended in 1945, a Pipe Band was formed by the local citizens association, functioning between 1947 and 1951. This tartan was worn for the first time on the eve of the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1953. Since its formation the Band has taken part in all local festivals.
