The Scots desend from Caledonian Picts who were said to have populated what is today Ireland over 10,000 years ago until they were defeated by invaders from what is today Spain.
You will find that it is the Irish who desend from Scots.
The culture of the Highlands has nothing to do with Ireland any of my fellow Scots would tell you this is a very unfriendly manner - please brush up on your history, friend.
@217RedRaider Great Highland Bagpipes in the form we play are from Scotland, however, you are exactly right in that ancient forms of the instruments with different drone configurations are played throughout the world, inlcuding in Asia. However, in the form we play, a 9 note chanter with 2 tenor and a bass drone (the Great Highland Bagpipe) is most certainly a creation of the Scots.
Which cop said they're Irish? The Great Highland Bagpipes are from Scotland, as is most of our music. That is not to say, however, that bagpipes aren't played in Ireland, nor that Kilts aren't worn in Ireland. I believe that it is a Celtic tradition shared in both Ireland and Scotland, but certainly emenating from Scotland. You a cop hater or what?
@leap101 The first song is Scotland the Brave, and I believe the second one is Battle's Over, but I'm not to sure, I'm just a Bass Drummer from another band haha
Well, we did, but then during the massive immigration wave in the early 1900s, there were large masses of Scots and Irish within that wave. They brought their music with them. There are actually more pipe bands in the US and Canada than in Scotland or Ireland now.
omg... when I was in Scotland we went to the Loch Lomond Highland Games and after that day i NEVER wanted to hear Scotland the Brave EVER AGAIN!!!! haha!

bagipipes are not of scottish origin.
they can be traced all the way back to ancient persia.

Nothing personal, but please understand this from a Scottish perspective.
We see Irish-Americans celebrating St. Patrick's Day with Scottish culture and attempting to pass it off as Irish culture.
We Scots pride ourselves with our unique and world famous culture, but then wee see idiot American-Irish arguing that it belongs to Ireland.
Please go to Ireland and I can assure you that you will not see men walking around in kilts or playing the bagpipes.
God bless America!

I had no idea Americans carried on the tradition of Bagpipes... I thought they ditched that tradition after they gained Independence?

Good, but it sound both Scotland the Brave and The Rowan Tree sound slightly different to the one we play in Scotland. Not much though. Liked it.

We have fixed and tuned the snares, this is an old video. We currently don't compete, so I guess we are Grade 5.
