A pair of gold bagpipe earrings hand made in Scotland make the perfect present for any lass who plays the pipes herself, or for those with
Scottish roots.
The exact origins of the bagpipe remains hazy, but has long been recognised as Scotland's national instrument.
Long ago Highland pipers were strongly influenced by their background of Celtic legends and the wild landscape.
The Highland piper occupied a high and honoured position within the Clan system,
and if you could play well your piping skills secured a comfortable life.
Bagpipes dwindled in their popularity, but were rekindled by Queen Victoria's enthusiasm for them, and have been increasing in
popularity over more recent years.
Here in Kintyre there are very vibrant and successful pipe bands.
