Hi. If you are asking did the "Great Highland Bagpipe" originate in Scotland then I would have to say yes although there are several areas within the UK that have their own versions.

How many bagpipe players are there in the world?

I'm from Scotland and i play the bagpipes. I don't have an exact number but from my experience with tattoos and general knowledge i would have to say the number must be up in the 100,000's. There is a hell of alot of folk in Scotland that play the pipes, but it's not the only country with pipebands. There are pipeband all over the world, in just about every continent so it wouldn't surprise me either if the number was in the millions.
