War: Waking a Revolution. Bagpipes were considered a deadly weapon of War until 1996.

War; Waking the Revolution
Wicked Yankee Tv celebrates the “Celtic Culture” for St. Patricks Day. We explore the incredible history of bagpiping with much loved Pipe Major and Scots guard Gordon Webster who was a personal piper to Queen Elizabeth and the bagpipes influence on the battlefield in WW 1. We also share the love and work involved with Mcgonagle School of Irish Dance in Nashua, NH.
Interesting Historical Note
As of 1996, the “Bagpipes” were considered a weapon of WAR. Bagpipers were sentenced to death for wielding the musical “weapons” as surely as a rifle or sword. James Reid was one of several pipers who played at the Battle of Culloden. He was captured along with 558 men by Cumberland’s troops and taken to England. There James was put on trial and accused of high treason against the English Crown. Piper Reid claimed that he was innocent because he did not have a gun or a sword. He said that the only thing he did that day on the battlefield was play the bagpipe.
After some deliberation, the judges had a different opinion on the matter. They said that a Highland regiment never marched to war without a piper at its head. Therefore, in the eyes of the law, the bagpipe was an instrument of war. James Reid was condemned and subsequently hanged then drawn and quartered.
