Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip of two Scottish pipers, wearing tartan kilts playing Scottish bagpipes music by the Half Moon Battery in the castle on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. The Half Moon battery is an impressive part of the castle's defenses, giving the cannons a wide angel of fire behind a tall, sloping unsurmountable walls. 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 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.
