Wow. That’s impressive.

It reminds me when I went to a fish and chips joint a few years ago. I don’t know what they were celebrating, but they brought in bagpipers. One of the worst restaurant experiences I ever had.

I know, nothing to do with Haggis, but it’s Scottish.

No other authority than Sherlock Holmes said that no one makes a better breakfast than a Scotswoman.

Bagpipes are more than ‘Scottish’:

And - just like ‘Whisky’ and ‘whiskey’ - there’s a type that developed in Ireland: Uilleann pipes:

Who knows who invented them first? They could have been first invented far from Britain.
