How about Bagpipes? This song makes my heart sing.
Music to stir my patriotic heart, that's what it is! 
Makes me think of the opening lines of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's 1932 novel, Sunset Song, which is set in a fictional Highland village known as Kinraddie:

Below and around where Chris Guthrie lay the June moors whispered and rustled and shook their cloaks, yellow with broom and powdered faintly with purple, that was the heather but not the full passion of its colour yet.
And in the east against the cobalt blue of the sky lay the shimmer of the North Sea, that was by Bervie, and maybe the wind would veer there in an hour or so and you'd feel the change in the life and strum of the thing, bringing a streaming coolness out of the sea.

Played properly the bagpipes are wonderful. I have spent some time in Sterling, the pipes were often played alongside Wallaces monument.
Played not so well they sound like cat being strangled.

I love the pipes and have gone to some of the Highland games near where I live. Part of my father's side on the family came from the Isle of Skye back in the 1700's, settled in what's now Vermont but eventually made their way to here in Michigan.
BTW, ever watch Outlander?

No, I've never watched Outlander. Or Highlander.
That's a very colorful statement, do you have experience strangling cats?
They don't call this the cat house for nothing ;-)
I thought that was because....
Truthfully i im even known at the town hall by the name "madam la chat" - the cat lady. I don't know why ;-)

The Highland Bagpipes definitely one of the truly wonderful thing we have that came out of Scotland.
That song was beautiful.

It's a rare moment in my life when I've seen something someone else hasn't.

Outlander is on Netflix and Starz, and it is excellent! Parts of it are filmed in the Highlands-- so beautiful. There are 4 seasons thus far with 2 more on the way for next year [14 episodes per season].
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
They had a Celtic festival near where I lived once.
Sheep herding , telephone pole throwing, rock throwing, haggis..
The police departments and auxiliary had a bagpipe band that performed and it was absolutely awesome.
