This is my favorite Scottish link on YouTube. It starts in Edinburgh, then to Loch Ness and ends in Glasgow. Very, very clever.
Oh and as someone says in the review section, never tease a snowman. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xfiqrkV_ZqI joe |

<<< (Ireland gave birth to the bagpipe and then they sent pipes to the Scottish, who never got the joke.) >>>
Bagpipes were invented in the Middle East and the first evidence of them being in Britain was the 14th century. The first evidence of them in Ireland was the late 16th century |
Got that from a book on the Irish - a very popular book a few years ago written by a Celtic scholar - but hey i don't know.

If he was a Celtic scholar, he didn't know.
The original inhabitants of the British Isles were Ancient Britons of various tribes. There's no evidence that the Celts ever set foot in the place. DNA evidence has shown that the majority of British and Irish are genetically identical apart from a few pockets of Scandinavians and Anglo-Saxons. We're all British, in fact. |
Bagpipes are found all over the world.
This site tells something about the origins and the different types http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A748208 |
