    Why do bagpipes always play that same song 🫤

    The song is called Scotland The Brave, unsure why its the mandatory song to play on bagpipes. Probably the only song they teach people to play 😝

    I just went down a bit of a rabbit hole on YouTube but I can confirm there are other songs that people play on bagpipes! 😆

    Apparently it's a bit hard as there aren't that many notes and the nature of them means you have to play notes constantly so you can't use pauses, but there's still a lot they can do.

    There's Amazing Grace that you hear occasionally, but also stuff like:
