The bagpipes are not a musical instrument, they are a weapon of psychological warfare! They are there to tell the clan over the hill that “Hide your cattle, hide your daughters… The Campbell‘s are coming!“ 🤣
They are the exact equivalent of the sirens they used to put on the underside of the Stuka dive bombers, just scare the shit out of the people they are about to bomb!
Now, the Irish bagpipes or Uillean Pipes, you could arguably say those are musical instruments (I grew up listening to the Chieftain’s!) but the Scottish pipes are simply an ill wind that no one blows good! 🏴🤣😱
