The Great Highland Bagpipe is known the world over for its characteristic and soulful sound!  It is an instrument most notably attributed to Scotland where it dates back to around 1400.  

The earliest references to bagpipes in Scotland are in a military context, and it is in that context that the great Highland bagpipe became established in the British military and achieved the widespread prominence it enjoys today.  

Though widely famous for its role in military and civilian pipe bands, the great Highland bagpipe is also used for a solo performances at special events.
