Travel Spot: The National Piping Centre And The Bagpipe Museum. by Capital2021(m): 2:56pm On Jun 18, 2021
As days go by each week, we offer you information that would not only help motivate you to chase your dreams or show you how, but also we tell you places to help you unwind when you get to study in the UK.

Today our journey stops at Glasgow in Scotland and specifically we shine our light on The National Piping Centre and the Bagpipe Museum.

Located on the River Clyde, Glasgow has been transformed from an industrial city to Scotland's cultural center, with its excellent museums, art galleries, concert venues, and festivals. Its Gaelic name-meaning "lovely green place"-is apt, given its 70 parks and open spaces. Music lovers of all kinds will find plenty of things to do in Glasgow, known as Scotland's music capital, with venues that include the Theatre Royal (home of the Scottish Opera) and the Concert Hall (home of the Royal Scottish Orchestra) and today's travel spot.

The National Piping Centre is an excellent resource for those with a passion for bagpipes and drumming, whether as a performer or a fan. Lessons and courses are available, including intensive bagpipe schools held at a variety of locations worldwide. The National Piping Centre is also home to the superb Museum of Piping, which includes piping memorabilia belonging to Robbie Burns and the 17th-century Iain Dall MacKay chanter, the world's oldest surviving bagpipe relic.

A well-stocked shop brimming with piping related supplies, music, and mementoes is also open to the public (the center also has its own hotel and restaurant). Glasgow hosts the annual World Pipe Band Championship, the world's largest such festival, held every August on Glasgow Green.

There you have it. You could visit this exciting place and other great places in Glasgow when you study in this amazing city or adjoining cities in the UK. That may seem hard to do in the past but not anymore. How? You ask, it's as simple as starting your journey at www.studysey.com
