* The '''Army School of Music''' (established late 19th century originally) is the Pakistan Army's central musical school/institute, where most of its army bands and musicians are trained. The famous 'PIFFERS' bagpipers, who still wear many old Highland tartans and play the Highlanders' bagpipes, are also trained here for a considerable time, after a tough selection process from all PIFFER regiment battalions. These are the pipers who even go and win awards at the Edinburgh tattoo and other Highland games in Scotland. The Frontier Force/PIFFERS retain their connections with the Scottish regiments. Again, permission has to be obtained ''a priori'' to visit the School of Music, but it's a truly fascinating experience.
