They are often called "cauld wind pipes" in Scotland i.e. blown with a bellows rather than the warm breath of the Great Highland Bagpipe. Variations were found all over lowland Scotland and the north of England and are experiencing a resurgence just now thanks to Brighde (Bridget) and others.

Brighde comes from a Gaelic speaking musical and artistic family on Skye. She started on the GHB - here she is aged 10 - the pipes are as big as she is!
