Can anyone give advice on how to add piping to a Prince Charlie jacket?

I bought some length of black cord to add to the edges, but not sure how to add them; does anyone have any tips? I've never had a garment with piping on edges before. From what I've seen there's a type that's a cord with insertion braid inserted into the edges of the fabric, which this isn’t, & the flap type that wraps around both edges, which this is?

Thank you.

As it is a tube sewn together, then you'd start at a seam, and make a small break in the seam stitches to insert the end of the piping, to hide the raw edge, then stitch the piping in place, making a stitch through the sewn edge, across the join, then make a stitch into the garment where it will draw the piping into the fold or join you wish to emphasise. Make another stitch through the piping before drawing the thread tight as otherwise you might not be able to make the stitches close enough together to keep it smooth. My grandma used to describe over long stitches as 'loch ness monster sewing'.
