@jross3r Sorry, man. I didn't intend it as an insult to you in any way. I don't mind calling em Irish pipes. I was just enlightening all of the other folks giving you a hard time. I appreciate you recording this.
Funny part is, Highland Cathedral was wrote by a German, not a Scott. Also, bagpipes are not universally Scottish. Granted, the Great Highland Bagpipes are. The Irish had Irish War Pipes. Same as Highland pipes but with 1 less tenor drone. Those were made illegal some time ago and have never come back into style. So the Irish either use Uilleann Pipes or just use the Great Highland Bagpipes.
To claim that no Irishman can use them is rubbish. Kilts are also worn by the Irish. Get over yourself.
Jings I love seeing my own countrymen dressed in full Highland regalia; take a look at the Edinburgh Tatoo, Scotland in her full glory, now thats something!!
But this cannot be claimed to be Irish unless the uploader made a mistake in the title.
Very interesting title, I would have thought more apt if he were playing in Scotland as he looks more like a Scotsman!! Oh and he is playing (sort of )Highland Cathedral.............now that is totally Scottish.
he could be a Scotch-Irish. The video lable says he's an Irishman but maybe he is a Scot living there, or a decendent of one. The title is very decieving to a situation none of us see the full picture of. lol In fact, he put so much effort into buying the attire and the pipes, perhapse if he saw this he's be insulted because that wasn't what he was going for at all! hahaha
@ShunkawakanOkawingha Hope you're not mixing Scots Irish with Ulster Scots from N.I.Look at the results from the last 20 years at Glasgow Green from grade 1 downwards- Field Marshall Montgomery,RUC, Ravara,Ballycoan etc....You should have a bit of pride with other nations opting to play the Highland Pipes.Worked for St Laurence O'Toole,Australian Police.Simon Fraser University ..........Almost no-one,apart from some drum majors wear full Highland dress.This guy is obviously playing to tourists.
Oh no doubt about it. I think a persons culture is what he chooses to share with the world, because you can't help who your father was. There are a few who will play in the full highland depending on the situation, not many bands though. I know City of Washington does for special occasions, and my father plays in his often at gigs and cerimonies.
@inachu These aren't Irish pipes, they're Scottish, in fact most so called "Irish pipes" are actually Scottish pipes just re-branded as Irish, but they're actually Scottish.
@inachu These are Scottish War Pipes. Hard to tell but maybe McCallums? They can cost anywhere from 3 gran to 18,000 US dollars. Don't Buy pakistan made, they are cheap woods and awful craftsmanship. Henderson Impors is a good place to look as well as Gibson. If you seek true Irish pipes, look at Ullian pipes. they use a bellows and have a greather musical range but are nothing like playing the highland pipes.
You are all actually talking out of your arses. Nobody can say definitively whether the Scots or Irish had it first. And when the "Scots" (or Mesolithic hunter-gatherers to be more precise) came to Ireland in 8000 BC, there is CERTAINLY no record of them having bagpipes! There is little evidence of bagpipes in either Scotland or Ireland before the late Middle Ages!! It is not known whether the Scots and Irish acquired the pipes simultaneously or not!
@saddamrentedmyhole Nobody knows?, I'll present you with the same challenge here, name one thing in this video that is actually an Irish invention and not a Scottish one...
@segano1 I'll give you one. Crappy Highland pipe playing! Crossing noises and wrong embelleshments. Thats an irishman no doubt about it XD Scotland forever
@ShunkawakanOkawingha Indeed, everything you see here in this video is Scottish, nothing Irish in it, even the song's Scottish, it's called "Highland Cathedral", of course not as well done.
@saddamrentedmyhole The "Scots" did not come from Ireland, one site that may be of interest to you..Google "Irishtribesman the Scots did not come from Ireland". It's pure 'Gratton Flood' myth < look that up too.
The Scots are the direct descendents of Caledonian Picts of ancient Scotland by overwhelming mass majority, proved by modern archeological evidence and several years genetic research.
I can also provide proof that Scottish land and population pre-dates Ireland's by a good 4000 years.
@saddamrentedmyhole Look up the 'OGAP4' haplotype code, and you'll see I'm right, Scots = Caledonian Pict tribes of ancient Scotland from the first settlers of Scotland.
So disrespectful... Typical retarded Plastic Paddies ripping off Scottish culture, playing Scottish instruments, dressed in full traditional Scottish attire, playing Scottish traditional music.
If I were Irish I'd be embarrassed at bullshit videos like this, it just makes the Irish look weak with no identity of it's own to express to us, it instead clings to it's more successful neighbour to the North-East (Scotland/Alba/Caledonia) and tries to hi-jack other successful nations.
@devinediety what would a scottish piper be doin in bunratty castle Ireland? the irish introduced the bagpipes to scotland as they came from the great irish warpipes!! so if you want to be smart do your research first then comment
Lol your arguing with everyone and you know nothing.. To be technical the Roman army introduced their bagpipe, the Tibia Utricularis, to the British Isles and other countries such as France, Spain, the Balkans etc. Bagpipe caught on within england and scotland and is rumored scots used the sound as war instruments. Soon caught on to be a sound used in wedding as such... when scots moved over to ireland they brought the instrument with them. IRISH got it from scots... get it right!
@devinediety the first people to settle in ireland came to the west and they came from northern spain.. this is proven by extensive research by archaeologist and scientist..
@pondlife14 St.Patrick often uses Scoti and Reguli as equivalent terms. To the term Scottus he adds often the word Nobilis; whereas he has no other appellative for the native Irish but 'HYBERIONE', or 'HYBERNIGENAE', 'The common ordinary people'.
(History of the Scottish Nation, fn. p. 282).
The Scots were recorded by S.Patrick, whom Christianised Ireland/Hibernia as the upper class of Ireland after they conquered and settled in deserted Northern Hibernia, whereas the Irish were the commoners.
@savagenomore The 'Irish' name is a 16th century Papist name imposed by Pope Leo X, the Irish are the brainwashed, brainwashed since the 12 century by Popery.
The Scots were the upper class conquerors and new settlers of Ireland/Hibernia (from Caledonia/Scotland) and the Irish (Hiberni) were the 'common ordinary people' and 'sons of the soil' as recorded by S.Patrick, whom Christianised Ireland.
Irish Culture is a 19th century invention based on Scotland's from the Gaelic revival 1890~1921.
(You are an American and therefore a foreigner so dont even attempt dont question my knowledge on issues that pertain to MY country).
thats why an irish man took a dump and there was scotland!!!!!!!!!! we had the bagpipes first dumbass!!! but to get more techinal about it, it was origanaly from the middle east but het scottish think that they are imteligent
@frht454 From the tone of your response, I'm thinking you may be an American. If so please disregard my previous text as you probably already know everything. Slainte.
@cowpoke1000 i take offence to that retort. i happen to be native american-irish-scotish, and i live in america.. not all of us are ignorant prigs like that guy.. plus whats to say he is not just some twelve year old who thinks he knows everything?
@frht454 Bagpipes in one form or another have been around for eons. They existed all over the middle east when the Irish and Scots were still living in caves. The outfit in this videois Scottish military. This version of the pipes is the Great Highland Bagpipe. The Uilleann pipe (pronounced ullan) is the Irish version of the bagpipe and a far more complex instrument than the scottish pipe and is bellows blown, not mouth blown.
