Tuning to the pipes is of course the best option you just need a cooperative piper who's prepared to wait for others to tune up!

Recently I was in a session with a Northumbrian piper whose pipes were tuned to F. This is the original key for Northumbrian Small pipes Apparently concert pitch has changed over the centuries and what we now consider to be G was originally the equivalent of Todays 20cents sharp of F If I want to tune 20 cents sharp what do I want to calibrate the MHz setting of my tuner to? Hope this makes sense
