Synopsis

‘Ladies From Hell’ was a title given to the fierce kilted Highlanders by their enemies. The use of the bagpipe in war is very ancient among the Celtic people and this film traces the story from the ‘braveheart’ days of William Wallace to the seige of the Alamo and from the battle of the Clans to the twentieth century carnage of WWI.

Winner of 8 awards the landmark series ‘Instrument of War’ seen on PBS and the History Channel, is the most comprehensive film history of the great Highland bagpipe ever made. Narrated by Charlton Heston, Tom Conti and Hannah Gordon the series contains some exceptional stories and very rare archive.
