The band is recognised as one of the oldest surviving civilian pipe bands in the world, having been formed in 1887 in the village of Wallacestone, which is a few miles outside Falkirk in Central Scotland. Originally financed by local miners who contributed part of their wages each week to establish the band, it is now completely self-supporting.
The Hunting Sinclair tartan has been worn by Wallacestone since 1974.
The band currently compete in grade 4A and are led by Pipe Major Neil Henderson. 2012 sees the band celebrating their 125th anniversary.
