Bagpipes originated in Egypt, were in use in Greece and Rome and most Celtic peoples in Europe had a version. Spain, Italy, Ireland, France England etc all still have bagpipes but the most well known are the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipes. These are mouth blown as opposed to bellows and were spread throughout the world by the British Army regiments from Scotland during the period of the British Empire. Many people descended from the Scot's who settled in North America (USA and Canada) play the bagpipes as part of pipe bands. Asian and Middle East countries have also adopted the pipes especially for military bands and some non military services (Fire & Police) also have taken up the instrument.
