The National Piping Centre is actually a hotel in Glasgow offering typical Scottish breakfast, which we could not let pass us by. The dining room is actually quite small and cosy and we were quick with our order. Tea and toast were with us in no time and all seemed right. 20 minutes later we had to remind the people serving us that we were still without our breakfast... and it never quite recovered after that. We had to ask for ( and wait ) for more toast and of course more butter and the water we ordered never made it. It could be so much better.... alas it wasn’t when we were there.

Excellent Glasgow city centre venue. My band, (The Jiggers Ceilidh Band) play here regularly for weddings and corporate events and it's got great acoustics and good food. Really good for a ceilidh. It's included in our blog post about the 100 top Scottish wedding venues.

When we sat down we got told by by the waitress that the card reader was playing up and had to pay by cash. I asked if there was an ATM machine nearby ro which she replied I will find out for you but never got back to us. So my wife said she had £35 of cash. So we would have ordered more but stuck with a 2 drinks and 2 main meals which came to £32 pound. And just managed to pay the cash with the money we had but we were a bit annoyed with being asked to go out to the ATM. But we left early and apart from that the meal was quite satisfying.

I will highly recommend all the people who is Interested on learning bagpipes. All around the world players are coming here to share the played experiences. People working there are all friendly and helpful. I had a very wonderful lesson there. For sure I will come back again . Thanks for all you did. Music and memory is stored !

Our wedding venue... where everything was done to perfection. Building provides a great backdrop with tasteful decor which is just Scottish enough. Love the historic black & white photos on the walls, the stained glass and the way the light shines into the blue room. The food was well presented and lovely just like in the bistro. The service great. The bar stocked with Scottish craft beers and gins impressed the guests. The organising, management of the day, accommodating the providers of cake, decor, entertainment - all done very professionally. The venue size created a great atmosphere for a party evening. Great location for guests travel and accommodation with lots of hotels in surrounding streets and travel hubs everywhere. Thanks to all who helped create a fantastic day.

The National Piping Centre in Glasgow is the perfect destination for anyone looking to learn more about traditional Scottish music. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It's a must-visit for all music lovers, where you can explore the culture, history, and art of Scotland’s national instrument. You get the chance to be taught how to play them and then have a go yourself! The most interesting part of the tour for me was learning about how piping bands from all over the globe, fly into Scotland to perform at competition level! Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would 100% recommend visiting. I know we'll definitely be back!

This venue for wedding reception was such a delightful surprise. Fantastic place, it's like the tardis with something different around each corner lol! Piping centre/shop, full of history, great event spaces with private bar, lovely public restaurant & bar, great menu and accommodation. The rooms provide everything you need for a short stay and spotlessly clean. The staff were amazing, all so friendly, welcoming, helpful and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. A new found gem for us. BTW, if you have the privilege of eating breakfast, the Pipe Major's breakfast is recommended, was delicious, perfectly cooked and not to be missed.

I loved finding out more about the history of bagpipes. And we were excited to get a little private concert as one of the employees was warming up before giving a tour!

(Translated by Google) Museum quite small (Original) Musée assez petit

Although when I went the exhibition was under construction, it was great. Because of the construction admission was free but is usually just a couple pounds. Despite the small size of the exhibition, I feel I learned a good amount. It was a relatively unique experience as well! There are even Chanters (the flute like part of the bagpipe) that can be tried out. Doesn't take very long and is pretty accessible. Would recommend if you find bagpiping interesting.

Awesome

(Translated by Google) A bit of a letdown. We were the first to arrive there, but there was a private group. An hour later, but it was a bit disappointing. A very small space with some bagpipes all over Europe. Photos and drawings about the construction of these beautiful instruments. Already seen after 15 minutes. Outside was a bagpipe player, but very fake. Too bad more expected (Original) Een beetje een afknapper. Als eerste kwamen we daar aan maar er was een privé groep. Een uur later terug, maar het viel wat tegen. Een heel kleine ruimte met wat bagpipes all over Europa. Foto's en tekeningen over de bouw van deze prachtige instrumenten. Na 15 minuten al wel gezien. Buiten stond een doedelzak speler, maar erg vals. Jammer méér van verwacht

Good service, decent food, reasonably priced

Attended a wedding reception. Pluses.. Beautifully laid out tables. Fabulous food. Lovely canapés. Dinner was really excellent. Wine service frequent and attentive. Evening buffet was also really nice. Plenty of room for dancing and good stage for band. Staff all very pleasant. Suggestions... more seating required whilst tables being organised before and after dinner. Quicker service for food. Waiters with long hair, tie hair back. Non dairy milk was available but it never arrived. Toilets need more attention.

Had lunch there today; fantastic; lovely food; the fish and chips was delicious as was the Cullen skink ; very nice staff and very reasonable. This will be our restaurant of choice when visiting the theatre royal; thanks again

Great place if you're interested in the Great Highland Bagpipe (or GHB as it's called!)

Was here for a wedding, not the museum so base my review on that. Overly expensive non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, staffed poorly, no urgency in serving customers

Great place with the cutest little museum... You can also buy some instruments for à good price.

A must stop for anyone interested in piping and the history of piping. The museum is worth the visit and a small but comprehensive store as well.

Great staff very knowledgeable about all your piping needs and absolutely everything you need in one place! Great wee cafe and barnext door as well!

Restaurant was superb. Mac cheese with salmon was absolutely delicious.

Brilliant night at Piping Live! with Allan MacDonald with his hand-picked band and brilliant support from Beira

I expected something bigger than what it is, but it's interesting to get to know on the story of the bagpipes and I'm all for trying to play one of them

Was here on a trip with our high school Pipe Band. I think we were all a little underwhelmed by the size of the museum. They had some cool items, but it was all in a small room. There are practice spaces and classrooms in the building as well, but the museum was a little disappointing.

Perfect venue for my sister's wedding reception. Staff were incredibly friendly. Nice whisky too

Tradition cares and its historical memories sremmurd interesting.

Welcoming and well run show though I had to go to sister shop in Otago street, I got what I wanted. Good prices, amazing quick delivery. Check their website for stock inventory.

This first visit was for a Christmas lunch with Oddfellows. The service was very good and staff friendly. My Christmas meal was good and the establishment very clean and tidy. Well done, definitely worth a second visit. Hotel accommodation also available but not taken on this visit.

Great Bagpipes. Great chanters and great accessories and score books! Fast shipping and always a curtesy call if something is not in stock. First class service. Highly recommend!

Always a treat for a piper to visit when in Glasgow. Bagpipe museum is a must see.

Highly recommend a visit to the National Piping Centre on McPhanter Street!! The staff were extremely helpful, gave us some great advice on chanters and books. The museum is quite interesting too, look out for the old Polish pipes 😳 Our tutor Ross was absolutely fantastic. He is a renowned musician in his own right, but having his experience as a tutor at the Centre is wonderful! It made our trip to Scotland so memorable! Thank you 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎵🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

My daughter held her baby naming ceremony at the piping centre. She ordered a buffet which was lovely. At the end of the event I asked if they had any boxes to take away what was left of the buffet, which was quite a considerable amount. I was told we were not allowed to take any of the remaining food home due to the risk of food poisoning if we reheated it. I assured her we would not be reheating the salad or sandwiches. I was told we were not allowed to take any food home. So what happened to the remaineder of the buffet. Surely perfectly edible food was not going to be thrown in the bin. It was nearly half of the buffet. This is the first time I have come across this practice. What a disgraceful waste of food.

Friendly staff at this small but interesting museum on bagpipes.

Small but beautiful spot to visit. Cheap (more like a donation) to visit. Recommended to all piping enthusiasts.

We had our wedding here at the weekend and it couldn’t have been better. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Emily, our main contact for organisation, was a great help and always responsive to emails. The piper was excellent, the florist made the hall look absolutely beautiful, and the food was great. It all felt very down to earth and relaxed too, which was what we wanted. A big thank you to all involved!

We had our wedding here last week and can't thank the team enough for everything they did. I've never experienced such professionalism and nothing was too much bother. Even the numerous emails I was sending in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding! The staff never showed any stress and I would highly recommend getting married here. We can't wait to go back for a meal. The Piping Centre will always have a special wee place in my heart.

Recently attended a wedding reception at The National Piping Centre. It's a good venue and the staff were lovely. However a mini bottle of prosecco which is one glass costs £14 which is outrageous! This is the most I have ever been charged anywhere for a glass of prosecco and I don't know how they can justify this. Overall a good venue but don't drink prosecco if you go!

Visited her for my sons graduation, lovely venue. The meal provided was very good, drinks not too expensive.

Food was good but not again of the history of bagpipes

Superb Scottish fayre at a reasonable price.

Beautiful place friendly staff

Brilliant fish and chips

A place to visit when in Glasgow Loved the place

Does a great wine tasting

Wee Hogmanay Party for age 2-10 is brilliant. On 29th and 30th December, a ceilidh for the kids. Highly recommended

Was here for a wedding reception and the staff were very welcoming and the prices were quite reasonable. Amazing venue space

Lessons are good value :)

Our really tasty meal was served quickly despite the restaurant being busy. Which was ideal as we had theatre tickets for Theatre Royal just across the road.

It would have been so much better if their was disabled access and toilets with proper facilities for clinical ie nappies .

It is a small but fascinating place to visit. My favourite part was when i could try to play on the pipe.

Lovely very small hotel with friendly staff

What do you want to know about piping? Well you can learn it here.

The meal was really lovely all the traditional scottish dishes were superb

The Tryst restaurant really great tasty and fantastically presented food, but still good enough portions to satisfy! gluten free and various dietary options catered for veggie vegan etc and accessible with a lift for wheelchair. They helped a friend of mine with a visual impairment. (Just one suggestion maybe have a large print menu)

Nice little hotel, restaurant and piping museum

Piping week good day

Event with the OU excellent

Expensive Bar

Nice staff and good bagpipes

(Translated by Google) Very small museum covering stories about the bagpipe. It would have been good if you could have tried a complete bagpipe. These went to buy. (Original) Väldigt litet museum som täcker historier om säckpipan. Det hade varit bra om man kunde fått prova en komplett säckpipa. Dessa gick att köpa.

Definitively a place to visit when you are in Glasgow. There are real bag pipes to play with if you want to have a try. The museum shows a lot of history around bag piping. The staff is very friendly. Next to the piping centre is a restaurant and a hotel. The bar is very tempting to have a Gin or just a little snack.

I was at my nephew's wedding here. It was a fabulous venue.

Not up to date. The hystoryfilm is broken and the museum is very small. The pipers are the hart off Schotland they need a professionel museum. Be proud off these great musicions! I was disapointed.

Most delicious poached eggs ever! Had a late breakfast of poached eggs and smoked haddock. Quality ingredients and perfectly cooked. Very good value for money.

Pre-theatre menu was superb...such high quality for a very good price.Getting married here in 8 weeks and can't wait.Staff are always helpful and so attentive.What can I say...I love this place!

Pipe bands....

Great show guys with piping live...

Rude waiter. Rude barman. Food was not great.

Top food, luxury rooms, excellent facility!

Had food it was excellent

(Translated by Google) Very small museum. Not worth it. (Original) Zeer klein museum. Niet de moeite waard.

Nice history of piping in Scotland.
