@StrathendrickPiper Yeah, of course you do, you get bagpipes world-wide, but those bagpipes are Scottish, they are officially called "Great Highland Bagpipes" Irish bagpipes are Uillean Pipes.
@StrathendrickPiper That's a Scottish instrument, the GHB and variations are native to Scotland. Many different bagpipes took their influence from Scotland, the Uillean Pipes aren't bagpipes, they've no bag on the side, they were first created by an English musician who took Scottish bagpipe and tried to make a softer variation of them to celebrate the union between Scotland, England and Ireland in the 1800s, they were officially called 'Union pipes', then later Gaelicised as 'Uillean Pipes'.
@segano1 Uileann pipes are named for Irish word for elbow. The Uileann pipes have a bag on one side which is inflated by a bellows worked by the opposite elbow, rather than the pipe blown in the GHB, or the Irish Warpipes. They might have been known as union pipes in England or Scotland, but Uileann is certainly not a gaelicised version of union.
So, an English musician created the uilleann pipes, and they disappear without trace in England, but are completely woven in the tradition in Ireland?
Yeah, right.
The Scots war pipes came from the Gaels of Ireland, and frankly, we made better use of them.

@segano1 you have totally missed the point in this video, all the tunes are of an irish heritage. They are Irish marches.
I am fully aware the Highland Bagpipes are from Scotland.

@segano1 UIllean is Gaelic for elbow as in " Elbow pipes " , it has nothing to do with the so called " Union " between Ireland and England .
