Seems many Scottish tunes were originally known as 'Piper Tunes' - played on the Highland Bagpipes. 

It's easier to learn how to mimic the style of 'Pipes' on the fiddle, when you understand a little about why Bagpipes are played the way they are.  Notes are limited, drones are limited and ornaments are limited.  

Here's a link to the 'Jamie Laval' thread.  He's an outstanding fiddler who is an expert at playing Piper tunes!

West Highland vs. Cape Breton?

Alasdair White is a Scottish, West Highland fiddler.  Here he plays 2 Piper Reels, 'Calder's Rant' and 'Prince of Wales'.  Sheet music for Prince of Wales can be found at thesession.org, but NOT Calder's Rant - I haven't checked the archives, yet. 

Sounds exactly like Cape Breton!

Now I really like the 'Chanter's Tune (Song)', but the sheet music I've found doesn't get me to sound like a piper. 

I did just find a video that kinda does!  Started this video by Fiddle Robert (Linn Barnes) at a point to cut to the chase, because the beginning is garbage about stringing a Cello like a Fiddle. 🙄 

Watch his ornaments!

@GregW - 

Do you play this?

...duh, I should've thought of using those trills.
