Best Bagpipes Song

You didn't specify Highland so how about something a bit less harsh.
Northumbrian ?

If we are including Northumbrian pipes then can we also include Liam O'Flynn, probably one of the best Uilleann pipers in the world.

The ironic thing is that Bon Scott couldn't really play the bagpipes, he'd mentioned to the Young Brothers that he'd played in a pipe band as a kid and they decided it would be great to have the pipes on that track and promptly handed Bon a set. However, he'd been a drummer in the pipe band and had never tried to play pipes before that point!

On the subject of superb Uillean pipers, Dickie Deegan and Ronan Browne are the guys I really rate:

I have some really unusual bagpipe music on a CD I bought in Marrakech. I heard the music on the radio. Arabo-Celtic fusion rock!
 
We've had NSPs on the thread, time for some Border pipes courtesy of Jon Swayne and Blowzabella...
