| Though
it is undeniable that the Scottish "Highland" pipes are
probably the best known in the world, the map opposite shows the
approximate distribution of the bagpipe
as an ethnic instrument throughout Europe and the Mediterranean.
From Lapland in the
extreme North to the Northern coast of Africa, from the Atlantic
shores of Portugal, as far east as India, bagpipes have been played
for centuries.
Morpeth's Chantry
Bagpipe Museum has a wide selection of bagpipes from many countries. |
