Scotland is beautiful, you MUST go if you haven’t been there before, actually if you have been there before you MUST go again! Its one of the countries you must visit before you die, great people, great theatres, great bars etc…
Another thing! If there is one place in the world that you can’t get bored during a long car journey, its travelling through the highlands of Scotland, you’l find yourself caught in an endless day dream staring out the window at these spectacular hills and mountains.

The name Uilleann …
The name Uilleann is quite recent too as the instrument was called the union pipes. Of course to make such a thing would cost a lot of money even back then and it was the instrument of the upper classes to be used in light operatic pieces rather than a folk instrument or national bagpipe. The first evidence of it is on London in the early 18th century. It isnt seen in Scotland or ireland till the 1760s. Heres a video with one.

It has a …
It has a complicated history and actually was deveoped over 150 years (pre-famine) to the instrument today. Its a little known fact that makers in Ireland, Scotland and England all developed and contributed to its design and inovations. But by the end of the 19th century the instrument survived in Ireland as a tradition but had died out in Scotland and England. Yet another example of the shared traditions of these islands.
Look up pastoral pipes for a history on wikipedia.
The second octave …
The second octave is the bane of the piper its bad enough trying to get a chanter with one octave in tune but two is a really hard job. It depends on the storage temp, reed and pressure used on the bag and each pipe is different. The instrument was over developed with the regulator keys to sound a harmony. it developed as a chamber instrument in the 18th century and originally was an open chanter as opposed to the closed on the knee style today.
I once watched an …
I once watched an interview by Paddy Malone(I believe that is his correct name) of the Chieftains who explained all about the Uilleann pipes and it sounded so complicated. God knows I couldn´t follow the interview let alone play the pipes, but he did explain that bit about the 2nd octave.
I think what this …
I think what this song (wild mountain song)shows is that both scotland and ireland have enriched each nations musical heritage to the extent that like the people their is a grey area where the definable boundery where one ends and the other begins blurs. The wee bit of ocean between both was a motorway for ideas and culture both ways.
