We don't know.

Although they are associated with Scotland today, they were used in the Middle-East and Asia centuries before. The oldest known bagpipe so far was found in an area which used to be Ancient Persia.

The Irish made and used Bagpipes before the Scottish did and hated the instrument at first. So they gave them to the Scottish, intended as a "bad gift" to annoy them. However the Irish plan backfired when Scotland made the bagpipe their national instrument.
