Trinity College graduate and accomplished piper Alisdair McLaren visited his former college on February 12.
Students from the Pipes and Drums Band met Mr McLaren who was on holiday from Glasgow where he is the director of the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland.
In 2011, Mr McLaren was a part of the band that completed the “Grand Slam”, winning all five major championships in one season including the World Pipe Band Championships.
Born in Perth, Mr McLaren was a student at Trinity College from 1988 until his final year in 1996.
Mr McLaren said his time at the college was a significant stepping-stone towards his outstanding career.
“Trinity College provided me with a great education and a strong attitude to push myself and excel to the highest level,” he said.
“I was given the motivation to succeed and be the best I could possibly be.”
Trinity College is a Catholic college for boys in the Edmund Rice tradition, located in East Perth.
