Why do Scottish Highland bagpipers play on St. Paddy's Day in the US?

Q: Why not play the Irish Uillean pipes? How did this get mixed up? Also, no need to give a lecture on how the big over-the-top St. Paddy's Day celebration is an American invention. That's not what I'm looking for...

A: I was born and rared there and the bagpipes are not native to Ireland but where in fact believed to be developed in Iran. Although St. Patick is our patron saint he was not born there. People think he was Scottish.
