I was in 5 regiments in two armies. 37 years as a soldier. But I'll always remain so very proud to have been an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander. It was all about the quality of our boys. And really professional leadership from their SNCOs. None better. Wish I was young and could join up again! Mike Wilson
Mad Mitch the commander of the ASH was some leader he and his highly motivated Argylls retook crater (Aden ) after the police turned on the British regiments mad Mitch was right in amongst the fighting a real leader of men and respected by his men .
My Favourite Uncles were soldiers in the Highlanders in the 1950’s & 60’s. One a piper, the other a drummer. They loved their service and played Pipes and drums the rest of their lives raising thousands for charity in bands especially around New Years Eve when they would play in the streets all night raising money and having a few jars as the playing quality steadily declined. They have both sadly gone now. I miss them both...,
In some countries, armed forces are the source of fear and hate. Here, an honourable body of men are received with warmth and gratitude, as defenders of the land, the people, and the faith. May God bless these soldiers indeed: fine men.
En España parece que nos da vergüenza ver a nuestro Ejercito, a nuestros soldados. Sabemos que existen, pero gracias a la izquierda española no han hecho sentir vergüenza de tener un Ejercito. Y la derecha cobarde es su complice. Ojala los españoles nos sintiésemos tan orgullosos de nuestro país, como los británicos del suyo. Hurra por la Gran Bretaña.
the argyles were almost destroyed by government for doing something any soldier would do, go in and save your friends, Watch '700 glengaried men', they were vilivied but survied
These warriors are Scottish and they are marching into, and being welcomed, an English city. You need to know our history to fully appreciate the magnitude of that welcome. Personally, I hope we remain united.
These men, can hold their heads up with pride, they fought for the people of Afghanistan, they demonstrated that their country can with hold together under any pressure. Well done.
I could watch these guys march for ever, so proud of all of them, and I’m honoured to have one of them in my family. God bless each and everyone of you.

I'd recommend reading "Moon over Malaya" A great tale of this Regiment...The only jungle trained Bn during Malay debacle, they bested the Japanese in every encounter. "filleted" by Japanese tanks at the Slim River, they reformed for the final defence of SIngapore with elements of the Marine survivors of the Prince of Wales and Repulse they formed the "Plymouth Argyles" held their ground until the surrender. It is told largely by the men themselves. Brings a tear to the eye.
As a native American whos ancestors where murdered by the British Empire i could only say that a Scott who supports the union jack is a cocksucking traitor to his or her true Scottish blood
@@susanneskadetsinnverdilsek5901 if you are really native American you might be aware that the British wanted to defend the rights of native Americans during the War of Independence - hence why so many fought on the British side. Not that we are or were perfect mind you, but still.
The only Scottish Regiment to be granted the Freedom of an English walled City . Canterbury misses the Regiment for sure . Bonds were forged in their time here. God bless the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
A shout out and salute from descendants of John MacCay born Sutherland Scotland 1690, and was a Jacobite fighting for the Stuart's. Name modified to McCoy and settled family near Funkstown Maryland with 150 acre land grant from JamesII
Torsten Fruchti My ex boyfriend was German military, he had sent me videos of a night town march with torches, standards etc ...I believe bringing home those who lost their lives in Afghan.
The Scots are the first ones to make bonnets. There is a land in the lowlands called tweed.although I will never see Sterling Castle, ide love to visit my land someday.🎉
It makes me both sad and happy to watch this. During Vietnam I didn't dare wear my uniform on liberty even though I didn't go to 'Nam. When I came back from Desert Storm. They held a small parade and the people just stood and watched--no clapping or cheering. When my daughter came back from a year in Iraq her unit was invited to put three trucks at the end of the "Fire Prevention Parade." The bright spot was when we were standing on the island that ran down the middle of Main St. As our daughter rolled up in a HEMMIT wrecker she had to stop for the parade to move. She saw us, waved and said hi. Three little girls in front of us looked up and said almost in unison, "A girl is driving that truck!" It made their day that a "girl" was driving a very large Army truck. The Scots, Brits, and Irish, still recognize that service men and women are important. While citizens may disagree on whether the war is right or wrong they support the service members. We've mostly lost that in the US, all to often we treat our service people as if they are personally responsible for the wars.
when you link into UK regiments coming home its all the same, Scttish Regiments in England or English regiments in Scotland, Just watch Black Watch homecoming, dont just watch the troops, watch the people, But look at the faces of the troops, every colour, every creed, Thats Scotland.
Bill Hunter That's so sad mate....you can thank left wing liberals that create all that fuss about welcoming home war ravaged heroes and if they tried that nonsense here they'd get their lily yellow asses kicked....anyone who doesn't support their armed forces is just a traitor to the nation....well done your daughter mate
Bill Hunter Britain is different, we don’t go OTT on saying thank you for your service, the flag or putting military on a pedestal but we make sure they know they’re loved, and where it falls short we must improve in the care of veterans and those still serving. My only hope for all Allied troops and their loved ones is that when a decision is made to deploy its for a good cause, not to line the elites pockets or politicians/corporations to profit from it. But things take time to change. Our men and women’s lives are precious, they take the brave step to volunteer and be prepared to sacrifice, those that have it within their power owe it to them, their families and loved ones to make the right decisions. God bless you and all of our troops. Lest we forget
Look at all those far right racists celebrating murderers say the left wing.....all I see are patriots honouring the brave men and women who defend our people with pride and playing Highland Cathedral is such a poignant tune to those who never returned.....GOD BLESS ONE AND ALL OF OUR ARMED FORCES SEMPER VIGLIO
I'm a liberal and a progressive, and my Father and Uncle fought in WW 2, and of Scottish ancestry, having my forebearers immigrating via Scotland through Canada. My Father was a Roosevelt Democrat. Honoring those who put their lives on the line for their Country is not a right or left position. Scotland is by most standards progressive both in their politics and culture. Trying to take possession of Patriotism shows those who would claim it because of a political position to be neither.
I went to a family wedding in Edinburgh (I'm English but mum was Scottish ) apart from the usual disco music they had traditional Scottish music and dancing - said to my kilt wearing cousin we don't have anything like this in England he replied you lot dance with flowers !!! Quite true
united we stand,divided we fall. our countries are small,but together we have a voice in the world, and a history that is unmatched by anyone. lets forever rely on each other.
From what I've heard it was down to low recruiting numbers this could have happened to any of the Scottish infantry battalions.. At least that's the excuse they used
Millions of men died for our, and your, Freedom. Respect is OWED, and deserved. Millions of the "enemy" also died. Most of them probably didn't believe in "their" cause : they had no choice. Remember them too.
These troops are beyond impressive.I'm embarrassed to ask what song the regimental band was playing with so much emotion in the 6th and 7th minute of this video?
As a former Infantry Marine in the USMC....these are historically some of the toughest infantry the world has ever seen....lions of men led by donkey's, unfortunately...... :-)
As an aside, the Argyl regiment was almost disbanded, thanks to Politicians, if you have a few minutes to spare watch a vid, 'Argyles in Aden' they did what any soldier would have done.
@@tomlucas4890 arguably very controversial they're CO was living in a different time to everyone else and whilst the soldiers were following his orders he wasn't following the orders he was given
You were right about the Highlanders they were the ASH but were stationed in Canterbury, england. So it was the english who turned out to see them, everybody like a parade. :)
Onore a questi giovani che tornano in famiglia. Sono contento dell'accoglienza a loro riservata dalla popolazione. Mi piacerebbe che succedesse anche in Italia. Ricevere i soldati in una festa di tutti. Complimenti a questo popolo molto unìto. Ciao
Thanks for the next twenty years of the most important regimimentil gathering of all the old regiments that have been sustainable due to a member of the English parliament, all we have is one invintray. The royal regiment of Scotland. But we will Stand again next to each other and we will be able to say we're the Scottish division one more time. RSM.E.MCINALLY
As a retired American military guy with Scottish blood in my veins; I am always interested in the variety of uniforms worn by U.K. Service man and women (especially the Scottish troops). In this case, I wonder about the olive drab berets with pom-poms on top worn by most of the troops. Others wear what look like black berets with no pom-poms. What is the significance of the black berets?
Richard Crowe Usually the Scottish Regiments,ie The Black Watch ,Argyles and Kings own Scottish Borderers wear the Tammy or Glengarry.Other Regiments usually wear the beret, as seen by a couple of Soldiers here.Probably seconded to the Argylls
.......maybe the guys wearing black berets are specialists from the Royal Artillery or Royal Engineers attached to the Argylls. Since they're facing the wrong direction, we cannae see thair badge. All highalnders wear the tam o'shanter in fatigue and the glengarry in parade order of dress .
Could the owner of this post please stop an old Argyll from being overly grumpy and correct the spelling of the regiments name as from 1794 we have had no e in the spelling of ARGYLL. Sorry for being a pain but Argyle is a street in Glasgow or a pattern on socks.
jobu88 The lighter ones aren't berets. They're called Tam O' Shanters (TOS). The others are berets and aren't Argylls. Presumably they're from other regiments and corps from within the army but attached to the Argylls. The dark hats with red, white and black dicing are Glengarry's and generally used as ceremonial head dress. These are also Argylls. Argyll Glengarry's used to be just red and white while all other Scottish regiments were red, white and black. This was a battle honourthey won in the battle of Balaclave to signify 'The Thin Red line' Since the government sold the British Army down the river and destroyed many famous regiments the Argylls are now known as 5 Scots and lost the red and white Glengarry.
+Argyll1000 2 questions, if u can find the answer, in the Argyles diced glengarry, there is a connection with Balaclava, and why do Highland regiments wear white gaiters when in full dress
+tom lucas Well for starters they are Argylls not Argyles. The red and white glengarry was a battle honour symbolising The Thin Red Line where the Argylls fought at the battle of Balaclava. All the other Scottish regiments at the time wore red, white and black diced glengarrys. If you turn the Argylls glengarry to the side and look along it's length it shows a 'Thin Red Line' Sadly most of the Scottish regiments have merged with others. The Argylls are now known as 5 Scots and a shadow of their former selves. The Scots regiments all wear the same Highland dress now and took parts from each regiment, We lost our red & white Glengarry. No idea why we wear white gaiters.
British by birth, Scottish by the grace of God Canadian by choice God Bless the men and women who have served in the regiment of my home town of Stirling.
Sadly not,once a proud regiment in their own right then reduced to a battalion of the the royal regiment of Scotland now reduced down to a ceremonial company of around 100. Sad but a sign of the times we now live in.
Such a parade would be unthinkale in Germany because we have many Leftards. Preserve your culture and traditions. May the Gods bless Scotland. Sincerely regards from Germany. PS: Sorry for my bad English.
It's a fucking disgrace what the M.O.D. have done to this proud regiment reducing it to company strength as a ceremonial unit when the boasts more battle honours than most regiments in the British army, shame onyou M.OD.

I was in 5 regiments in two armies. 37 years as a soldier. But I'll always remain so very proud to have been an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander. It was all about the quality of our boys. And really professional leadership from their SNCOs. None better. Wish I was young and could join up again! Mike Wilson
My husband was in the Army for 20 years. I understand what you are saying.
Mad Mitch the commander of the ASH was some leader he and his highly motivated Argylls retook crater (Aden ) after the police turned on the British regiments mad Mitch was right in amongst the fighting a real leader of men and respected by his men .
Colin Mitchell was a modern day Soldiers Leader for sure he will be remembered 🏴
Why do people complain about the youth of today when there is excellent young men like these, every one a volunteer. It makes me proud to be Scottish.
As a Resident I am proud of these young men . And also proud the Argyles are the first Scottish Regiment to get the Keys to an English Walled City.
@Rumble Parler Scotch is a drink, these lads are Scots. (I am English)
@Rumble Parler When we get Independence, do you honestly think they want to remain part of the English army?
Hahahhahhahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!
Glasgow thugs and dregs!
Most of the British army “young men” are chavs.
Those that sign up to serve their country and protect us citizens are a special breed.
Major respect from the US!!! Just amazing!!!! God Bless you all!!!
My dad was a soldier with the Argylls, he passed away a couple of years ago but never forgot his days with the Regiment he was a very proud man.
Ian Colbert aww rest in peace my dad was as well and a lot of his friends in the army have died😔🙏🏻
My uncle was with them for ww2.

Not the Argylls at at all but an unknown Regiment .
'fraid the Scots are no longer so keen to join their Regiments. Another Bn should go from the Scots but politics as it is, it's too difficult.

Exellent and moving. But why Canterbury, when they are a Scottish regiment?
As a retired American military guy with Scottish blood in my veins; I am always interested in the variety of uniforms worn by U.K. Service man and women (especially the Scottish troops). In this case, I wonder about the olive drab berets with pom-poms on top worn by most of the troops. Others wear what look like black berets with no pom-poms. What is the significance of the black berets?
Richard Crowe Usually the Scottish Regiments,ie The Black Watch ,Argyles and Kings own Scottish Borderers wear the Tammy or Glengarry.Other Regiments usually wear the beret, as seen by a couple of Soldiers here.Probably seconded to the Argylls
.......maybe the guys wearing black berets are specialists from the Royal Artillery or Royal Engineers attached to the Argylls. Since they're facing the wrong direction, we cannae see thair badge.
All highalnders wear the tam o'shanter in fatigue and the glengarry in parade order of dress .
The "pom pom" represents a thistle. our national flower/ weed
It's a Tam O' Shanter and it's called a toorie - not a pom-pom. I suspect the ones you saw were Royal Marines in dark green berets rather than black.
The beret with pom poms is called the Tamm o Shanter, the long narrow one is the Glengarry.
Somebody knows the name of the beautiful march please? Thanks a lot in advance people.
The one at the beginning was "Campbeltown Loch". At the end it was "Highland Cathedral"
brave men and women .be prowd of your armed forces because they protect us when we sleep.

Excellent. This Regiment sorted out Aden. This Regiment put fear of Jokes into the Malaysian jungle. Still going strong by the look of it.
Sadly not,once a proud regiment in their own right then reduced to a battalion of the the royal regiment of Scotland now reduced down to a ceremonial company of around 100. Sad but a sign of the times we now live in.
God Bless ! 🌟
Ich muss weinen❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a parade would be unthinkale in Germany because we have many Leftards.
Preserve your culture and traditions. May the Gods bless Scotland.
Sincerely regards from Germany.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.

It's a fucking disgrace what the M.O.D. have done to this proud regiment reducing it to company strength as a ceremonial unit when the boasts more battle honours than most regiments in the British army, shame onyou M.OD.
And clearly visible is the flag of St. Andrew who was crucified on the cross upside down.
Why are some wearing dark green bretes and others caps with pomppoms????
