The Scottish bagpipe (BAGPIPE) instrument appeared in various European countries as early as the fifteenth century. It can be seen from this that bagpipes did not originate from Scotland. From the Northumbria (Old Kingdom of England) area on the British border, across Ireland, Spain, Italy, especially Eastern European countries like Romania, the Czech Republic, and even the Svarak Republic, the bagpipe culture of these countries has been around for a long time. Expanded. After hundreds of years of changes, the types of bagpipes have become more diverse and more widely known. There are still different opinions on how the bagpipes were introduced to Scotland. Some say it was introduced to Scotland by the Romans in the early days, while others say it was introduced from Ireland. To this day, Scottish Highland bagpipe music still plays a very important role in society. In military or ordinary gatherings, whether it is to improve morale or express pure emotions, it conveys many cultural connotations beyond Scottish music.

Legend has it that bagpipe playing became popular among Scottish tribes in the era of MACCRIMMONS (his deeds are recorded in a famous ballad - "MACCRIMMON'S LAMENT"). During the reign of James II, various tribes relied on bagpipes to connect with each other, and combined the strength of each tribe to maintain the traditional power of their highlands to resist foreign invasion.

Influenced by the British army in the 17th and 18th centuries, bagpipes instantly became a very important musical instrument in Scotland. In the 19th century, bagpipe competition became popular among Scottish folk, resulting in the creation of many famous bagpipers. Among them, the person who contributed the most to bagpipe music is ALAN MCLEOD. He successfully improved traditional bagpipe music and successfully promoted Scottish music to the world, thus laying the foundation for Scottish bagpipe in the world music industry. In fact, bagpipes can be found all over the world, but why do people only remember Scottish bagpipes? Just because in the minds of the world, the Scottish bagpipe does not just refer to the instrument itself. It is also connected to a long history that represents the traditional culture of the Scottish Highlands (Highland) and has long been sublimated into an indispensable part of Scottish culture.

I think it’s the same thing. It’s just that the names are different due to different geographical locations. Maybe it’s just a different style of playing. There is very little about bagpipes on the Internet, and there are no experts. Maybe It’s just an expert who doesn’t go online, haha~~~~

I think what you are hearing is the Irish bagpipe, because only it can play a desolate feeling~
