The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band, also known as The Scottish Lion - 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band, is a pipe band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sponsored by the regiment of the same name, the Frasers became the first non-Scottish band to win the World Pipe Band Championships, in the summer of 1987. Under the direction of Pipe Major Bill Livingstone, the band is still active in the competitive pipe band arena to this day. The band has both won the North American Pipe Band Championships (held in Maxville, Ontario) and the Canadian Pipe Band Championships (held in Cambridge, Ontario)...

The Gordon Highlanders were formed in 1794 due to the need for more men in the battle against Napoleon. Rich with many deeds of heorism and gallantry, the Regiment has a reputation for steadfast action that is second to none; hence the Regimental motto "Bydand", that is, "Byde An Fecht", which means to "stand and fight". .
