@AthCliath23 No it doesn't.

excuse me but last time i checked the bagpipes were scottish.

[AthCliath23]

It takes an Irishman to play the pipes, don't ever forget it.

RomanCatholicAndProud, (like myself!) we Irish MOST CERTAINLY DO respect the pipes, if not more. The bagpipes are immense here, but not even as much so as the Uilleann Pipes. Sure wasn't it us Irish Gaels who brought the Gaelic Culture to Scotland in the first place?!?

@RomanCatholicAnProud I didnt know that, we learn something new everyday lol. Thanks for sharing that mate :)

@CharlesDilkes your right its not really a feature of thier cultue in ireland, but id like to inform you as scotsman, they where brought over, its noted in history. Im not sure wather you know that or you dont, but read up its actually true, and to my other point, the irish dont respect the pipes in teh sense that we have, you are ideots arguing about who owns the bagpipes, when theres war and people starving etc going on in the world, get a grip the lottaya

[RomanCatholicAnProud]

we will always think of scotland when we hear the pipes, and i know my cousins in southern ireland only know bagpipes to be scotish and not irish, so yeah we are much more aware of the pipes and we respect them alot more than the irish i would say, its mainly ulster scots people who would play pipes in ireland i believe. scottish regiments of the british army have the better pipers than the irish ones, infact i think 1 royal irish are teh only reg that use pipes where as the irish gaurds, dont

@RomanCatholicAnProud you are right, us and the Irish are very similar. although we both have bagpipes yes, but different kinds. I believe the pipes is a Scottish thing although celtic music is done by the pipes, again you are right but when I hear the pipes I only think of Scotland.

I respect what your saying though.
