Henderson'S, Ltd.

COMPANY PROFILE

Our name is a tribute to Alexander Henderson, my great-grandfather, and the man who provided my living link to Scotland. His father emigrated from Aberdeenshire in the 1860s, and spent nearly forty years in Ontario before settling in the United States. It was a desire to honor and continue my family’s Scottish legacy that inspired me to begin piping. Later, genealogical interest prompted my first trip to Scotland, during which I gained a sense of physical connectedness to my ancestors. As I continued to pursue both piping and historical research, I developed a deep respect for traditional Scottish culture, and a wish to help promote and preserve it. This led to the concept of Henderson Imports in the mid 1990’s. Through much determination, commitment, and perseverance, we have moved from a modest beginning in our home, to a space which we quickly outgrew, and then into the modern 6,000 square foot storefront and warehouse space we currently occupy. After twelve years in business, our goal remains the same. To achieve this fundamental objective we have broadened our scope beyond the store to include such efforts as educational piping and drumming clinics, community outreach endeavors, and sponsoring several solo piping competitions.
