The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 78th Frasers became the first non-Scottish band to win the World Pipe Band Championships in the summer of 1987.

Under the direction of Pipe Major Doug MacRae, the band is still active in the competitive pipe band arena to this day. The band has won both the North American Pipe Band Championships (held in Maxville, Ontario) and the Canadian Pipe Band Championships (held in Cambridge, Ontario) a total of twelve times each. The Frasers travel to Scotland each summer to compete at the Worlds, and have finished in the prize list eleven times.
