Scottish bagpipes background and instrumental music for video and events
Bright drones, proud melodies, and clean edits when you need them. This collection of bagpipes music adds a Scottish tone to travel films, heritage stories, parades, weddings, and title cards. Use it as understated background under narration, or lean into a fuller song feel for openers and reels.
You’ll hear Great Highland pipes and smallpipes, with tasteful support from snare corps, bodhrán, hand drums, fiddle, whistle, and acoustic guitar. Try
“The Scottish Sunrise” for ceremony intros,
“The Lilies Of The Field” for slow-air photo slideshows, and
“Auld Lang Syne” when you want a light, modern lift. Featured composers include
Jon Wright,
Erick McNerney, and
Matteo Bosi, who write edit-ready themes with loopable middles and tidy endings.
Every download includes MP3/WAV and a license PDF for commercial use and client delivery. If you publish across multiple channels or hand off to an agency, switch on the Hide Content ID filter. If you specifically need no copyright music for YouTube, that setting helps avoid automated claims and keeps multi-platform uploads smooth. Prefer an ultra-neutral tone for broad audiences. You’ll also find stock-style options beside our best traditional and Celtic cues.
FAQ – Bagpipes Music
How do I keep pipes clear without overpowering voiceover?
Set music several dB under speech, choose cues with gentle highs or smallpipes timbre, and dip the bed during names or dates. Leave a short pocket of space before lower-thirds so captions land cleanly.
What styles fit different edits (marches, reels, slow airs)?
Marches suit arrivals, flags, and wide shots. Reels add energy for quick b-roll or transitions. Slow airs work for photo slideshows, memorial segments, or reflective travel scenes where you want warmth without rush.
Can I mix bagpipes with modern drums or orchestra?
Yes—keep percussion tight and the low end controlled so the drone stays stable. If you add strings or brass, let pipes carry the melody and use the ensemble for lift into title cards or end tags.
Indoor recordings sometimes feel harsh. Any fixes?
Choose cues recorded on smallpipes or with softened highs, avoid bright room reflections, and keep the bed narrower in the high mids so sibilants and on-screen text remain comfortable.
