It is known that about 500 B.C.E., migrating Celts brought a form of bagpipe to the country and that many counties in England had their own different forms of bagpipe early on, as did Scotland.
On teada, et umbes aastal 500 e.m.a tõid sinna rännanud keldid endaga kaasa ühe torupillilaadse muusikariista ning et paljudes Inglismaa krahvkondades ning ka Šotimaal olid oma erilaadsed torupillid juba ammustest aegadest saadik.
