    It's one of the curses of the internet that idiots who know nothing about their topic have the same or perhaps sometimes even more options to put their drivel online as experts who have spent a lifetime studying and learning.

    Idiots are more likely to post because a) there are more of them, and b) they get so excited when they see something that appeals to them instead of confirming it.

    Happy are those who have no connectivity?

    There several Bruegels from 1560s era Flanders that show what are clearly bagpipes. Considering the vast wool trade between the Scots and Flemish at the time, a "Low Country" origin ... at least into Scotland, can't be ruled out.
    Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.
