I think it still needs some more mix work. I hear some slight crowding in places. Opinions  welcome!

You're obviously well into your celtic vibe now Tim, coming thick and fast. This one is ok, but never really moved from the one chord, so it sounded like an extended intro to something else. I'd like to hear a good strong melody riding above this nice backing track.

I'll listen for what you mean. There is an underlying melody but it isn't overt. Bagpipes have a limited range and they "drone". Could this be what you're referring to? Can you give me a chord example of what you're talking about?
 
It isn't a solid structure but is is a structure. I agree if this is what you mean.

 
Also known as 'The Sleeping Tune'. Bagpipes don't have to just drone, that's just part of their integral sound. I'm suggesting perhaps a few chord changes to give the instruments somewhere to go.

Very nice work! Great atmosphere!

Interesting stuff Tim, I know what you mean about hearing things in your head, my problem is getting them to reach my furry paws.

I already commented on SC, but will do so here too - nice!   I like the "march" feel, something different yet still Celtic-ish.
