There was a legend about a parade that was held in Chicago in the 1800s to kick off a Scottish gathering.                      According to the legend, the sound of the bagpipes startled a horse which reared up and threw its rider through a shop window.                       The court case that resulted was decided on the basis of whether or not the bagpipe was a musical instrument.                       The verdict was against the pipes.
