No, the Bagpipes are Scottish. There is a kind of instrument called the Uillean pipes that is Irish, which is similar to the bag pipes. Instead of blowing into it, it uses a bellows attached to the musician's elbow to blow wind into the bag. The musician plays a pipe with the hand, similar to what is on a bagpipes.

What type of music is the bagpipes played in?

The bagpipe is a woodwind instrument. The melody part of the bagpipe (the chanter) has a double reed, so it could go under the sub-heading "double reed woodwind instrument" - but this depends on the source ethnicity of the instrument in question (the Scottish Highland Bagpipe has a double reed, whereas a Swedish bagpipe may not). :) Peace out!

Which country do bagpipes originate from?

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.
