Bagpipes Music By Walls Of The Castle In Edinburgh Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of a Scottish piper playing Scottish bagpipes music by the walls of the castle in Edinburgh. The Great Highland bagpipe, Scottish Gaelic: a' phìob mhòr, meaning " the great pipe " is a type of bagpipe native to Scotland. It has acquired widespread recognition through its usage in the British military and in pipe bands throughout the world. There are many ancient legends and stories about bagpipes which were passed down through minstrels and oral tradition, whose origins are now lost. However evidence for Scottish bagpipes is more definite in 1396, when records of the Battle of the North Inch in Perth, Perthshire, mentions warpipes being carried into battle.
