Next, the world!!

A-a-w! C'mon!
Scotland is a relative latecomer to the bagpipes as a genre and the Great Highland ones are certainly of somewhat recent origin.
I have encountered various kinds, some in remote Nepal, indigenous ones in Pakistan and Northern India, Macedonia, Sicily, Southern Italy, France, Wales, Cornwall, Cumbria and Northumberland - and I am assured that there are many more places which currently have bagpipers playing.
Strangely enough, some folk actually play music on theirs, quite unlike most Scottish highlanders and their imitators.

Bully for you!
The whole world and his dog knows that pipes of some description have been played in virtually every country for millenia.
Who mentioned Scottish bagpipes?
Ber mentioned Galician bagpipes and until you butted in with your sarky comments, this was meant as an innocent joke.
Is this some sort of retaliation for questioning your ridiculous use of unnecessary long words in a previous discussion?
