J. B. (James Blair) Robertson was born in 1905 in Dundee and joined the 1st Battalion of the Scots Guards at the age of 17. He was Pipe Major of the 2nd Battalion from 1932 until 1941. A contemporary of John Wilson’s, the two were good friends with strong competitive records. J.B. won the Former Winners’ M/S/R at Oban nine times, a record that still stands. He won the Former Winners’ M/S/R at both Oban and Inverness in the same year on three occasions: 1929, 1933 and 1937. He won the Gold Medal for piobaireachd at Oban in 1932 and at Inverness in 1933, but it is his legendary status as a Light Music player that continues to this day Those who heard him in his prime say he was the finest march player they ever heard. He died in 1988. Father of the piper [a=James Robertson (17)].
