Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of the bagpipes and drums music of Troon Blackrock Pipe Band marching through town to the Highland Games Pipe Band competition on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Crieff, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. This wonderful Scottish band are a grade 3A band, based in South Ayrshire. The Great Highland bagpipe, Scottish Gaelic: a' phìob mhòr, 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. Though popular belief sets varying dates for the introduction of bagpipes to Scotland, concrete evidence is limited until approximately the 15th century. One clan still owns a remnant of a set of bagpipes said to have been carried at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. There are many ancient legends and stories about bagpipes which were passed down through minstrels and oral tradition, whose origins are now lost. However, textual evidence for Scottish bagpipes is more definite in 1396, when records of the Battle of the North Inch of Perth, Perthshire, reference " war pipes " being carried into battle. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
