Margaret Dunn ({{nee}} Houlihan) is an Irish bagpiper, originally from Cullen, County Cork, now living in Scotland.

Life

She started learning the pipes when she was 9 years old and was initially taught by her father Con Houlihan.[1][2] She later received lessons from Stephen Power and moved to Scotland when she was 17 to study piping at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Dunn was pipe major of Cullen Pipe Band from Cork when the band became world champions in Grade 3B in 2007.[2]

While in Scotland she joined the grade 1 Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band and with them won the World Pipe Band Championships in 2000.[2] In 2003 Dunn graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, with an honours degree in Scottish Traditional Music.

In 2003 Dunn became the first ever female to win an A grade light music competition and in 2008 went on to be the first female to ever play on the Former Winners March Strathspey & Reel competition stage at the Argyllshire Gathering in Oban.

In 2006, she married Alastair Dunn, a multiple Gold Medal winner and pipe sergeant of the Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band.[3][4]
