From bagpipes to kilts and tartans, we traveled to Edinburgh in preparation for Burns night to explore one of Scotland's most iconic instruments: the bagpipes. Our first stop was Kilberry Bagpipes, the last workshop making bagpipes by hand and our producer Stuart gives a crash-course lesson in playing the pipes. Next we went to Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers, the masters of Scotland’s national dress, they even found Stuart a kilt in his family’s tartan.
