It is known that about 500 B.C.E., migrating Celts brought a form of bagpipe to the country and that many counties in England had their own different forms of bagpipe early on, as did Scotland.
Ir zināms, ka ķeltu ciltis, kas ap 500. gadu p.m.ē. pārceļoja uz Britāniju, atnesa sev līdzi kaut kāda veida dūdas un ka neilgi pēc tam dažādi dūdu paveidi parādījās daudzās Anglijas grāfistēs un Skotijā.
