Well, then they shpould carry some Harps!

Just kidding.

I have always find it interesting that all the celtic nations share such interest for the bagpipes. I love their music, but my wife hates it whenever I play a CD of Camerata Meiga, Luar da Lubre, Milladoiro or Hevia.

All I can surmise is that when the Romans conquered Galicia, Asturias and Northern Portugal, they brought the Bagpipes to those regions. When the Celts became auxiliaries of the Romans, they brought them in their second landing on the British Isles, which was the seed for their dispersion there.
