'One of the last': handmade bagpipes a dying art in Scotland

Just off Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile is a faded storefront sign for artisan bagpipe maker Kilberry Bagpipes.

Ruari Black, one of only a few remaining craftsmen in Edinburgh who knows how to make the instrument by hand, is proud to be carrying on the long-lasting tradition.

"It just feels right to be making these instruments by hand," he says.

The Highland bagpipe is an integral part of Scottish culture and history, famous for its distinctive, powerful sound.
