Many people, on hearing the word ''bagpipe'', think of the Great Highland bagpipe of Scotland - the ''piob m&ograve;r''.  There are, in reality, many different bagpipes in the British Isles and even more in Europe.

The rural country bagpipe existed in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire and many more counties besides.
