Ahah, another closet Scotsman! I really love the skirl of the pipes - it must be some kind of ancestral or genetic response. During World War II, the Scotish pipers were called "The Ladies From Hell" by the Japanese. But, to you point. Yes, there are some decent recordings of bagpipes, although no "audiophile" recordings. I think your best bet is to check with large record store chain, like Tower Records, which has a large "world music" section. I have seen a number of bagpipe recordings in the "Scotland" section of our Seattle Tower Records store. Another option would be to use the Internet to search for Scottish specialty stores - from time to time I have seen CD's bagpipes performed by Scots Highland Regiments, etc.
