Scottish Pipes are the Great Highland Bagpipe, While this video is of Uilleann Pipes or Irish Pipes.

chaos97 ,the cover makes it appear to be one long continous bag look at the rear of bag and you'll see gold fringe trim on scarlett cover we can't see the cap

I had a C-Sharp set made by J. Henebry, around 1920. It had just such a chanter cap. I believe that Jimmy has that set now.

@chaos97 the bass drone is an addition. Yes it looks like one of the old pipes made by the first union pipe makers. Either kenna of Mullingar or Hugh Robertson of Edinburgh in the 1760s. It could also be a conversion of a pastoral pipe set as the instrument evolved. Its quite rare to hear very old union sets being played.
