A Charles Sturt University (CSU) student is bringing the sound of the Scottish highlands to inland Australia. Studying at the CSU Wagga Wagga campus, James Martel is an international-level bagpipe player who has led the Sydney Anzac Day March on several occasions and was a finalist at the NSW solos competition. In 2003, James was appointed the Piping Cadet Under-Officer of Scot’s College band and performed solo at the State Theatre in Sydney for the Rugby World Cup Festival. In 2005 he was appointed as a bagpiping tutor at the Queen Victoria School in Dunblane, Scotland and piped at all Scottish rugby internationals.
