thank you. I hope the Irish dont think its their song then ! Definitely sounds Scottish.

Now onto something which is bugging me and related to what I just said. What is the difference between Scottish and Irish traditional folk music; I mean they are both awesome genres but they sound slightly different, but I cant put my finger on it. Is it the instruments like the bagpipes or there is one with only 9 notes I read somewhere (dont recall where), which clearly the Irish dont use. But there's definitely more to it than that. Do i need a new post for this ?
