GRADE 2 LEADERSHIP | STUART HIGHLANDERS

Experience meets ambition.

As we look ahead to an exciting new chapter for Stuart Highlanders, we’re proud to introduce the leadership team guiding our Grade 2 band.

Adam Holdaway | Pipe Major

For Adam, this is a return home. Previously serving as Stuart Highlanders Pipe Major from 2004 to 2015, Adam led the band’s remarkable progression from Grade 5 to Grade 1. Highlights included sweeping the piping in both the Grade 2 qualifier and final at the 2011 World Pipe Band Championships and leading the bands first Grade 1 win at the Perth Highland Games in Scotland. Most recently, Adam led Commonwealth Pipes and Drums to back-to-back Grade 3 North American Pipe Band Championship titles in 2025 and 2026. We’re delighted to welcome Adam home as he takes the reins once again.

Robbie Beaton | Pipe Sergeant

Robbie joins Stuart Highlanders with 22 years of Grade 1 experience, including 19 years with the 78th Fraser Highlanders and 15 years as Pipe Sergeant. His achievements include numerous North American championship titles, multiple top-10 finishes at the World Championships, a fourth-place overall finish in 2007, and a Silver Medal at the 2014 contest in Kansas City. Robbie brings an exceptional depth of experience to our Grade 2 piping team.

Scott Armit | Lead Drummer

Scott returns to Stuart Highlanders after leading the drum corps from 2008 to 2012, including the band's Grade 2 qualifier win at the 2011 World Championships. With more than 35 years of leading drumming experience, multiple North American professional solo titles, and a Grade 2 World Championship title with Manchester Pipe Band in 1995, Scott has built a remarkable record. Most recently, he led Commonwealth Pipes and Drums' drum corps from Grade 5 to Grade 3, earning back-to-back Grade 3 North American championship titles in 2025 and 2026.

Three leaders. Decades of experience. A shared commitment to pushing ourselves and our band forward.

With a proud history behind us and plenty of ambition ahead, we’re excited to get to work!

Rest in Peace: Heather Jolley

Tartantown is saddened to lose its founder, Heather Jolley. Heather was the creator and mastermind who started our business from humble beginnings in her basement in 1976. We then quickly became a brick and mortar store in 1977.

Heather's leadership, character, quick wit, and vision were legendary around the business. That, along with her sense of family and fun, will be missed.

Always larger than life and a big-idea person, Heather didn't bother with all the details to slow her down. I will never forget when she had me investigate a larger internet presence and full e-commerce expansion. I returned with a recommendation and a very large quote for her. Heather just said, "It will all be the same five years from now... go for it!"

We will carry on in her honour.
