Ancient Pipes

Yahoo is carrying this summary of a recent archeological find in Ireland:

Archaeologists are dancing with delight after discovering a set of musical pipes believed to have been used 4,000 years ago by pre-historic man in Ireland -- likely making them the world's oldest wooden instruments according to experts.

Ellen would make a crack about bagpipes, but those are Scottish.

Actually, that is incorrect. Irish bagpipes are called Uilleann. I am sure that it really just means "bagpipes" in Irish Gaelic. I'm not sure what the Scottish Gaelic word for bagpipes is. I should though. Shall have to ask Mark and get back to you.
