The first written or representation (Melrose/Roslin) of the Bagpipes is only from the 14th century although popular stories have them being introduced by the Romans. Most Celtic nations had bagpipes and they were originally thought to derive from Egypt. The most well known Scottish bagpipe today the Great Highland Bagpies took it's present shape at the end of the 18th century. Earlier versions only had two drones or even one. Lowland pipes also existed but these died out and have been recreated using the Northumberland pipes as a basis. The British Army's Highland regiments spread the fame of the bagipes throughout the world during the expansion of the British empire and created the Pipe Band.
