The pipes are great highland pipes. The only Irish thing is the dances the girls are doing. No it's not strange, the musical forms lend themselves to several traditional dances from the Celtic nations. Warpipe is the name of the pipe band.

Irish dancers dancing to Scottish pipers?? confused or what>>

@MrJimmybobby The Scots had them long before the Irish or anyone else like Spanish etc, in fact it was the Scots who spread it and everyone was inspired by them during the Great British empire that the Scots made.

@pollydances Why did you give the impression that Scottish stuff was Irish then?

Most of what you've said is right besides that though.

But the their is no mention of pipes in Ireland before 1297 when the Normans conquered Ireland, even then the Irish had no interest of them until the 1500's.

@pollydances Hi the warpipes are known as píob mhór in gaelic...they were used in scotland and ireland..you don't know what you are talking about I'm afraid..

[segano1]

What is tending to be more typical here when people speak about traditional culturally national music that every country in the world has is that..

Irish music tends to be more Fiddles and Flutes

While

Scots music tends to be Bagpipes and Accordions.

In terms of the instrumental styles, like Irish Riverdance for example, that's truly what real Irish is, played with Fiddles and Flutes, Irish style.

@SvenDreyriAx Dál Riata was not a vagabond kingdom that moved from country to country as all the evidence shows it having it's roots in Scotland/Caledonia, at the Western fringe.

The Pipes were not a Gallic invention as the Irish never seen them before the Normans conquered Ireland after 1297, even then, the Irish never took to them or had an interest in them until the 1500's.

Brittany was nothing much more than some groups of indigenous Britons who escaped there away from the Angles and Saxons.

[segano1]

@SvenDreyriAx Actually no, they are not a mix, they are Caledonian Pictish by majority as the 'OGAP4' code taken from over 12 years of research has shown (1996~2008).

Gaels weren't a people, Dál Riata was actually indigenous to Scotland the whole time, and they came from Caledonia/Scotland to Antrim at the very northern tip of Ulster which is north of Ireland.

The cultures were not similar, as it's only since the early 1900's that the Irish during the republican movement took to Scots identity.

@irishhistoryman, It's the other way around, it's same Irish aided by Plastic Paddie Yankees who are comiting revisionism here, stop getting paranoid, you're going mental on other videos for months trying to try desparately to cling and latch on to the Scots, it makes the Irish look so weak and pathetically feeble.

The fact is that this is all Scottish stuff re-branded as Irish on this video.

And the Scots are Caledonian Picts, proved by the OGAP4 haplotype code.

[irishhistoryman]

All of the Scots revisionist historical myths and legends being promulgated by these (youtube) migratory street preachers have been dealt with on many other sites. The are just iterating and reiterating the same tired and thoroughly unsound false claims across many youtube piping posts... so don't even bother with them...

[SvenDreyriAx]

@segano1Actually the Scots are mix of Gaels and Picts, after one group (Gaels I think, but don't quote me on it), first settled there and the other joined them there. So the cultures between Ireland, Scotland and Wales are very similar, and with the pipes being a Gallic invention there are versions across Wales and Ireland as well as Scotland. (I think there may be a version of pipes from Brittany too.)

[segano1]

@SvenDreyriAx Not really.

Scots = Caledonian Picts.

Irish = Celt Gaels.

It's the emergence of Celt romantism in the early 1900's that many Irish took Scottish identity and claimed it as Irish which has created the modern confusion people have today.

[segano1]

I take it a typical clueless Yank must have made this highly inaccurate video.

[segano1]

@pollydances They are Scottish Pipes!

The Highlands are in Scotland, not Ireland!

Tartan is Scottish, not Irish.

Irish is flute playing, and Linenne - (Yellow shirt).

The Irish started taking Scottish cultural traditions after the modern made up term of "Celts" with the emergence of Celt romantism in the early 1900's.

[CpTNanaPanTs]

The Kilts are Scottish. The Pipes are Scottish to, they have 3 pipes, Irish have 2. Not negating irish culture or heritage. Just making a point. Im Irish.

[thetreefort]

more of this !

[SvenDreyriAx]

@ipendlebury They are all Irish in this. The warpipes are actually Irish. Easy mistake to make though, the Irish and Scots are very similar in culture.

[ipendlebury]

If it's not a dumb question....... is it not a bit strange that some girls are doing Irish dancing to a tune being played on the Scottish pipes?

[gws76]

Great playing!

[zammykun]

cool!

[littlebithippie]

ahhh thats me :)
