		The principal characteristics of the Northumbrian instruments are the bellows and the method of mounting the drones—the common stock.

		Though today the possible range of a Northumbrian pipe chanter is even further extended and there are instruments available in a variety of pitches, the evolutionary history of the instrument itself finishes with the Reids.

	Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the time of James VI's accession to the English throne, the old Scottish Court and Parliament spoke and wrote in Scots, also known as Lowland Scots or Lallans (although strictly speaking Lallans is a literary dialect of the Scots language).
		Scots is widely believed to have developed from the Northumbrian form of Anglo-Saxon, spoken in Bernicia which, in the 6th century, conquered the Brythonic kingdom of Gododdin (modern-day Lothian) and renamed its capital, Dunedin, to Edinburgh.
		The influence of settlers from the Low Countries and Norway in the east coast burghs founded from the reign of David I onwards was also an important factor in the development of the language, however.

		The first is the Northumbrian smallpipes, which are often just simply called the Northumbrian pipes.The second instrument is the slightly larger Northumbrian half-long pipes, also known as Border pipes.
		The Northumbrian pipes are played by inflating the "bag" with bellows held under one arm (rather than by blowing into it, like the Scottish bagpipes) whilst the other arm is used to gently deflate the bag through the various "pipes" or chanters.
		Many of these ballads survive today, both in their original Northumbrian dialect (some call it a language of its own) and in modern "English" translations.
