Well at least as I have seen the did not call them Scotch (hic) Pipes as have seen in print and the statement may actually be right if you take "Scottish" pipes to include the "Pastoral or New Bagpipe" sometimes known as the "Scottish Hybrid Union Pipe" courtesy of one W A Cocksexcerpt from a local paper:
"He took up the uilleann pipes, basically the Irish version of Scottish bag pipes."
Lets see, Biniou Koz and Bras/Nouveau), Boha, Bodego/Craba, Cabrette, Chabrette, Cornemuse du Centre and all its variations e.g. Musette Bechonnet, Cornemuse of the Haut Loire, Baroque Musette (du Cour), Musette Gailard, Sac de Gemecs, Veuze …. yes at least 10 Geoff and many more coming out the woodwork such the Cornemuse from Picardy, Cornemuse de Poitiou and of course a number of makers in France both native and expat now producing the Uilleann pipes - should these be renamed the French Uilleann Pipes?There are about 10 different French bagpipes, most if not all are currently played.
