We're the ones that are right (of course) and it's the rest of the world that 
is out of step. The notes have all moved steadily sharpwards over the last 175 
years, and with pipes 
made to fixed dimensions, we're playing what was G in the early C19.

Whether your A is 440, 415, 392 etc. is, of course, a totally different 
question. An nsp F chanter could be described as a G chanter tuned to A = 392 
(which, historically, is 
what it is. Why else would the music be written in G?)

Bit off topic, I suppose.
