The position of Queen's Piper is one of the highest accolades available to a piper serving in the Armed Forces.

The history of the post dates back to the time of Queen Victoria. She first heard bagpipe music in 1842, when she and Prince Albert visited the Highlands for the first time, recalling: "We have heard nothing but bagpipes since we have been in the beautiful Highlands and I have become so fond of it that I mean to have a Piper, who can if you like it, pipe every night at Frogmore." After Queen Victoria's death, successive monarchs retained the services of a piper.

This is the current Queen's Piper, Pipe Major Scott Methven from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, Royal Regiment of Scotland.
