Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Scotland’s National Instrument in Danger of Extinction.

Not likely. Too many respect the warrior tradition it is melded with in many minds. Hell they’ve picked it up in Japan of all places.

“Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes. Brings me to tears every time. I hope that this talent is continued!

[coloradan]

Obviously, what the world needs is a good set of electric bagpipes. With a knob that goes to 11.

when i was young we went to the orangmens parade in Horsham (i think) where the Orangmens Home was. There must have been 20-30 bands that paraded in those days. my dad has very bad out of focus video no sound unfortunately

I found out a few years ago I have a Scottish relative who moved from Virginia to Ohio just prior to the Civil War.

For whatever reason I’ve always admired Scottish Nationalism and culture—now I know why!

My mother is from Spain. The Northwestern corner of Spain called Galicia (Gaelic) is heavily Celtic in ethnicity. While I don’t have any relatives from there, I do know that the culture is very “Ibero-Celtic”.

There are many modern artists who use bag-pipes in their music from Galicia. Cristina Pato is one of them and her music is awesome.

“A gentleman is a man who knows how to play the pipes...and does not.”

[eartrumpet]

A friend in college was a good piper. I showed him how to play guitar and he showed me how to run those things. It was way too much work, blowing really hard then squeezing my arm down really hard. I gave up immediately. His fingers got sore on the guitar strings and he gave up immediately, too.

bagpipes

[Politicalkiddo]

I went to a Scottish Christmas concert a few weeks ago. It was very beautiful. I’ve always wanted to learn to play the bagpipes.

[yarddog]

I was born in Walton County, Florida. As late as 1960 well over half the population had Scottish surnames.

My Mother and Father’s families were of Scottish descent and highlanders at that.

There are a few left in the US anyway.
