No, nor during any other century. Given the earliest references to Bagpipes or representations (Melrose/Roslin) in Scotland date from the 14th century not sure how they would come to be banned. The most famous myth about banning concerns the 18th century and post Culloden (proscription act, James Reid etc, read other posts) and they weren't banned then either.
I doubt they were just laying around for someone to discover on an expedition. It is more likely that humans made the first set of bagpipes.
Many if not most cultures around the world have had a form of bagpipes in their cultural history, as such its hard to pin down where and when the first set came from, but the earliest evidence of bagpipes is from about 1000BC from the now Middle East.
Yes. Scotland invented the bagpipes.
No. The sound made by the pipes is sometimes referred to as a 'skirl'.
the bagpipes are usually associated with Scotland
Bagpipes were never actually banned, though its a common myth. The Act of Proscription 1746, which made the wearing of highland clothing illegal and made penalties for owning and carrying weapons, but it never had any effect on the pipes.

Probably not, many if not most cultures around the world have had a form of bagpipes in their cultural history, as such its hard to pin down where the first set came from, but the earliest evidence of bagpipes is from about 1000BC in the present day Middle East.
The original bagpipe was made from the whole skin of a dead sheep.
