Ireland is an island in northwest Europe in the north Atlantic Ocean whose main geographical features include low central plains surrounded by a ring of coastal mountains. The highest peak is Carrauntoohil (Irish: Corrán Tuathail), which is 1,041 metres (3,415 ft) above sea level. The western coastline is rugged, with many islands, peninsulas, headlands and bays. The island is bisected by the River Shannon, which at 386 km (240 mi) with a 113 km (70 mi) estuary is the longest river in Ireland and flows south from County Cavan in Ulster to meet the Atlantic just south of Limerick. There are a number of sizeable lakes along Ireland's rivers, of which Lough Neagh is the largest

These are Scottish bagpipes...

[truefalse]

@StrathendrickPiper Yeah, this is the sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes.

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

[DanPaddyAndy55]

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.

[StrathendrickPiper]

@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 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.

[segano1]

@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'.

@truefalse All the tunes in the video are of an irish/celtic origin

@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.
