The Scottish bagpipes are traditional instruments that have been played in the Hebrides for centuries. The Hebrides are a group of islands off the west coast of Scotland, and they are home to a rich culture and history. Bagpipes are a central part of this culture, and are often used to celebrate special occasions, such as weddings and funerals. They are also used to mark important events in the life of the community, such as the start of the fishing season or the arrival of a new boat.

The most common type of music played on the bagpipes is called "ceòl mòr," which means "great music." Ceòl mòr is a complex and challenging style of music that requires a great deal of skill to play. It is often played in a competition setting, and the best pipers in the world compete for the title of "Pipe Major."

In addition to ceòl mòr, the bagpipes can also be used to play a variety of other types of music, such as folk songs, dance tunes, and even classical music.

According to Wikipedia

In bagpipe music there is extensive use of grace notes. Indeed, because the chanter is not tongued but supplied by a continuous air source from the bag, grace notes are sometimes the only way to differentiate between notes. For example, inserting a grace note between two crotchets (quarter notes) played at the same pitch is the only way to indicate them as opposed to them sounding like a single minim (half note). Various multiple grace note ornaments are formalised into distinct types, such as doublingsthrows, and birls. A single grace note is played on the beat as is the first grace note of a complex ornament such as a doubling. Some complex ornaments, such as taorluath can be played starting or ending on the beat. Grace notes are typically played as short as possible by lifting the fingers quickly off the chanter.

Made by Hebridean Jewellery, these lovely Celtic interlace earrings are hallmarked sterling silver.
