Scotland and Ireland. Now they are frequently used also in the United States during funerals and memorials, especially among the military and police forces.

During the expansion of the British Empire, the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe became well-known worldwide. This surge in popularity was boosted by large numbers of pipers trained for military service in the two World Wars. The surge coincided with a decline in the popularity of many traditional forms of bagpipe throughout Europe, which began to be displaced by instruments from the classical tradition and later by gramophone and radio.
