Scottish Highlanders

Posing with bass drum, 1948

Local readers may have heard a report on Iowa Public Radio this morning about the Scottish Highlanders, The University of Iowa’s all-female bagpipe band. For those of you who want to know more, several hundred photos of the group can be viewed in the Iowa City Town and Campus Scenes digital collection. For the rest of you, you won’t be able to avoid the Highlanders for long, since the University is planning a weekend of festivities this fall to celebrate the group’s 75th anniversary.
