Walter Hoggan

Piper

Walter and his family migrated to Australia in November 2006 from Falkirk in Central Scotland.

Walter has been piping with Wallacestone & District since the age of 14. He was taught by Jimmy Inglis as well as Tom Anderson (ex Muirhead & Sons Pipe Band). Walter started off in the Novice Juvenile grade and then moved straight on to Grade 2 with good results throughout the 1980s and 1990s where they won Champion of Champions in 1990 and came second in the World Championships. They then went on to compete in Grade 1. He also had the privilege of playing in Lorient, France with Wallacestone four times. Wallacestone & District is the oldest Civilian Pipe Band in the world and Walter is very proud to have been part of the band.

In January 2007, Walter joined WAPOL as a guest player. He is looking forward to participating with the band which will be very exciting and rewarding as it is something different to the Scottish pipe band scene.
