    The pipes are not a Scottish instrument. They were invented by the continental Celts. The Irish have been playing them for longer than the Scots. The Great Highland Bagpipes are the only truely Scottish pipes. The Scots just perfected bagpiping.

    Check these guys out- http://www.corvuscorax.de/ They use very primitive European pipes.
