Welcome! I’m Matty Taylor, a professional Scottish bagpiper and fantasy author based in Elkins, West Virginia. I bring more than 20 years of piping experience to funerals, weddings, and ceremonies across the region. As a writer, I specialize in myth-inspired fantasy stories rooted in ancient traditions and dark magic.

I’m an author and bagpiper with a passion for weaving words and music into unforgettable experiences. Whether I’m crafting a compelling narrative or performing the stirring strains of the pipes, I believe in the power of art to connect, inspire, and bring communities together. Through my work, I aim to honor tradition while embracing innovation—turning creativity into a bridge between the past and the future.

If you’re looking to hire a bagpiper for a funeral in West Virginia or explore powerful stories inspired by Anglo-Saxon mythology, you’re in the right place.
