First published in 1980, Volume 2 of the Scots Guards Standard Settings of Pipe Music continues the legacy of the first collection, showcasing another era of piping tradition and excellence. While built on the same principles as its predecessor, this volume offers a fresh and diverse selection of tunes that reflect the evolving styles of pipe music.
 
Featuring over 175 tunes across 210 pages, it includes marches, strathspeys, reels, hornpipes, and jigs — covering the full range of piping idioms from beginner-friendly to advanced. Notably, this volume also introduces a dedicated section for Highland dancing tunes and includes six piobaireachds, making it an especially versatile and comprehensive resource.
 
An essential addition to any piper’s library, Volume 2 upholds the Scots Guards’ tradition of musical precision and remains a key reference for both solo and pipe band repertoire.
