Iain MacGillivray is a talented multi-instrumentalist who hails from Scotland, near Inverness and performs his traditional Scottish, Cape Breton and Donegal (Irish) folk music on fiddle, pipes and whistles. Iain MacGillivray and Chuck Butler perform in a double fiddling style common to County Donegal in Ireland, which shares some influences with Scottish pipe music.

Iain MacGillivray is the third generation of his family to carry on a piping tradition, following in the footsteps of his Gold Medal winning piping father, Duncan, and grandfather, Donald P. MacGillivray. Iain is the son of former Battlefield Band piper, Duncan MacGillivray.

Iain also tours in Scotland with his father, Duncan MacGillivray performing at festivals, and performs with the traditional group 'The Barn Boys' performing at ceilidhs around Scotland.
