The Swinging 60's
The 60's saw the band enter a new era under the leadership of Pipe Major Tim Ainslie (Tom's nephew). Tim isn't in this picture of the band at Duns sports day in the park in the early 60's but notice that the band are now wearing full archer green tunics and plaids as opposed to the black 'battle dress' tunics of the 1950's.
Jimmy Thomson, far left in the front rank was to become Pipe Major in the mid 60's.
Jock Niven, a well known Berwickshire piper is pictured on the far right of the front rank.
