I was born in Scotland before moving Down Under. I love the bagpipes – but the worst sound in the world is a neighbour learning to play them! And yes, that’s first hand knowledge.
I once heard the ’pipes being described as the sound you get while strangling a cat and biting its tail at the same time.
I am of Scots descent and grew up listening to the sound of the ‘pipes. There is nothing more haunting that to hear “Flowers of the Forest” played at a funeral. Or, more thrilling than hearing "Heilan’ Laddie", “Scotland the Brave” or “The Black Bear”.

What’s the age limit for still being called a baby, anyway?

as much I’m ancestrally part Scottish, I hope that toy bagpipes has an age limit (10+ or so)

The only bagpipe joke I know is: Why are bagpipers always walking? To get away from the sound.

I’ve worked my practice chanter for a couple of years and my children got me a set for my last birthday!

The perfect new gift for that niece/nephew when you really, really hate their mom/dad! Better than a drum set, because it takes up less space!

what is the difference between one bagpipe and one hundred? None, once you hear one you hear them all.

It’s better than the new Junior Demolition Set. Now, with even more DYNAMITE!

With real bagpipes you practice only on the chanter, much easier on the ears. Maybe she can plug the toy with gum…

I’ve heard that the only men who cannot hold their water at the sound of the pipes are the Scottish.
