The Iowa Scottish Pipes and Drums are based in Des Moines, IA, and were founded originally from the membership of the Iowa Scottish Heritage Society in 1975. Over the last thirty years the band has played for many high profile events, including the Archbishop of Canterbury's visit to Iowa, the Inaugural Ball for the Governor of Iowa, the World Scottish Festival in Montreal and the Victorian Society national convention.
The band has opened for The Scottish National Orchestra and The Glengarry Bhoyz and The Elders at concerts sponsored by the Celtic Music Association of Des Moines. In April, 2007, Iowa Scottish opened for "Scottish Rocker" Rod Stewart at the Wells Fargo Arena.
ISP&D has performed at premier central Iowa events including the Des Moines Arts Festival, the Wells Fargo World Food Festival and the HyVee Triathaon. In recent years, the band has increased competitive efforts.
