My ABC SCD collection is online at:

There are a lot of pipe tunes, as you might expect, but they aren't
marked as such in any special way. I'm not a piper. I do play for a
lot of Scottish dances, mostly on accordion, and pipe tunes are quite
popular with the dancers. My versions are "SCD" versions, of course,
aimed at players of the usual dance-band instruments, so they lack
the complex ornaments you'd expect at a piper's site.
I don't have any of the three tunes you asked for. Sorry. Maybe
they'll show up here in a day or two ...
