L & M Highland Outfitters - Where Tradition Meets Excellence in Highland Wear
Welcome to L & M Highland Outfitters, where tradition meets craftsmanship in the world of Highland wear. Founded in 1966 by the visionary duo Langille and Murdoch, our story began with two passionate members of a pipe band in Ontario who faced the challenge of sourcing quality supplies for their craft. Fueled by their commitment to excellence, they embarked on a journey to create a company that would specialize in crafting and offering premium sporrans, leather products (with a focus on belts), and leather bagpipe bags.
In 1980, Ed Langille assumed full ownership of the company, bringing it back to its roots in Londonderry, Nova Scotia – the very place where he was born and raised. Ed's dedication to the artistry of Highland wear led him to construct a new home for his family, complete with a spacious workshop dedicated to L & M Highland. For over two decades, our business flourished in Londonderry, earning a reputation for excellence in crafting leather pipe bags, particularly our renowned "Elk Hide" bags, celebrated as the best in the piping world.
Ed Langille's commitment to quality resonated globally, with L & M Highland becoming a recognized name wherever pipers gathered worldwide. Ed himself once shared that wherever he traveled, if a Piper was present, they were sure to know about L & M Highland.
While initially, some furs for our sporrans were locally sourced by Ed, our focus evolved with the introduction of Gor Tex bagpipe bags, a shift that prompted Ed to pass the torch. The business changed hands to a couple in Metro Halifax, leading to the relocation of our operations to Dartmouth, NS.
As the industry embraced new materials, L & M Highland adjusted its focus, continuing to produce leather bagpipe bags alongside a broader range of "Highland Wear" products. Our offerings expanded to include sporrans and leather accessories catering to pipers and drummers in Pipe Bands, Military Pipe Bands, and Canadian Army Highland Regiments – of which there are currently 17 in Canada, and only 1 in the UK.
For the past two decades, L & M Highland has remained steadfast in its commitment to supplying individuals of Scottish descent, Pipe Bands, and Military Highland Units with top-notch Highland wear. Our enduring legacy is rooted in the craftsmanship, quality, and tradition that define each L & M Highland product.
