The master musicians of RM Band Scotland are highly skilled in at least two instruments – and often many more. Together, these versatile and talented musicians undertake a wide variety of ceremonial commitments across Scotland and the North of England. Just some of the band’s recent engagements include the launch of the new Daring-class destroyers and the commissioning of the submarine HMS Astute. As with all Royal Marines Bands, the men and women of RM Band Scotland also perform a vital secondary role supporting the Fleet during active operations, with a number of personnel having seen service in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Scotland band is formed at HMS Condor, Arbroath, in 1960. To this day it remains the only one of the five RM Bands stationed north of Portsmouth.
The band moves to Rosyth in 1971. They are accommodated in a purpose-built Band Room at the Royal Naval Support Establishment at HMS Caledonia, Rosyth.
