Bagpipe Appreciation Day honors the Highlands Scottish Bagpipe.
A Scottish tradition, the bagpipe is used for several events, including announcing the start of a battle, births, weddings, and funerals. On this day, Scottish heritage groups hold bagpipe performances in their town squares or halls.
Bagpipes originated in the Middle East in about 600BC. Though Asian in origin, this instrument is now symbolic of the Scottish Highlands.
The bags are made from sheep or elk skin, and three pipes are connected to this air sack. Sound comes out when air is released by pressing them against the arm of the musician. A fourth pipe controls the pitch and the chords with nine holes.
