Scottish Bagpipes Music Calton Hill Edinburgh Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of a Scottish piper playing Scottish bagpipes music on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. 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. Calton Hill is the location of some iconic Scottish monuments and buildings. Monuments include the National Monument, Dugald Stewart Monument, Nelson's Monument, the Old Royal High School, Robert Burns Monument, Political Martys' Monument and also the City Observatory
