A skirl is the high, piercing sound of bagpipes. You know, the kind that carries far and cuts through the Highland air. The word's sharp, almost onomatopoeic quality mirrors the sound it names. It's impossible to confuse a skirl for anything else.
Example: The sharp skirl of bagpipes filled the air as the parade drew near.
