Inveraray and District Pipe Band is a Grade 1 pipe band based in Inveraray, Scotland.

Stuart Liddell, a native of Argyll and one of the world's top solo players began coaching youngsters at Inveraray Primary School in 2003, and registered the band in 2005 with the RSPBA.^[1] Liddell believed the community could support a thriving competitive pipe band, even though the region's last pipe band had disbanded in the 1930s.^[1]

The band's first competition was at the 2005 Cowal Gathering. Using borrowed drums and their own kilts, the group finished 13th of 19 in the Novice Juvenile division.^[2] In 2006, the band finished in the top 6 at all major competitions in Novice Juvenile, and in 2007 won 4 out of 5 majors and the Champion of Champions award.^[1] In 2008, the band won the World Championships, Cowal Championships and Champion of Champions in the Juvenile division, and were promoted to Grade 2.^[1][3]

In 2009, the band won all five major Grade 2 contests (Scottish, British, European, World and Cowal Championships), and were promoted to Grade 1.^[4][5]

The band won the World Championships for the second time in 2019.^[10]
