Nobody really knows. Bagpipes were invented in the Middle East a long time ago, and were probably introduces into Britain by the Greeks, or more likely the Romans. Both had contact with the Britons, and so either seems possible. They were certainly there when the Romans had been in Britain for a few years, as there are carvings of bagpipe players.
