The history and origin of the 'bagpipe' is truly multinational and varied and the countries involved too numerous to list. I guess wherever there was a fellow blowing 'hot air' a bagpipe surely followed. I reckon a good blast on the pipes is a great cure for a 'talkative wife' though, I don't know why but somehow it seems to end those unwanted conversations!!!!
Kind Regards to All,
