    I remember when I was a kid, following my Dad as he marched with his fellow veterans in the ANZAC day parades. They played this song. My heart would swell with pride. Nothing beats a marching pipe band.

    The Drum Major calls out "Scotland the Brave and Rowan Tree, High Hand Scotland the Brave". High hand mean play the version of Scotland the Brave that uses the left, or high hand notes on the pipe chanter, and tuned to the low A note, as opposed to the low hand version usually played with brass or concert bands, and typically tuned to a B flat. He then yells out "By the Centre Quick March!" That means you are following the drum major in the middle and the cadence of his words is the beat.

    • @iazmac
      @iazmac 9 років тому +10

      garryej That moniker, ( ladies from hell ) actually gained momentum during WWI. Many of the highland units still operated in highland battle dress. ( many images available online ) In WWII, primarily as a result of the horrific losses of pipers in WWI, the British army banned piping on the front lines. A notable exception: Bill Millin, Normandy. ( short stories available on line as well, and a good read )
      pipers front!

    • @iazmac
      @iazmac 9 років тому +11

      ***** That depends on how far back you want to go. I joke that the first battles in this region began just about the time the ice sheet was retreating, the ice sheet of course having failed in it's advance against this hardy yet quarrelsome race. Paleolithic forts can be found throughout the countryside. Obvious evidence of fighting. Fighting was detailed in Roman accounts while they "vacationed" in the region. Hadrian finally said to hell with it and put up a wall to try and keep them up north where they belong. The clans fought continuously. Can't talk about Scottish battles without mentioning Robert the Bruce around the beginning of the 14th century. Fighting with other Scots for control of the throne and then wagging his middle finger to the south. The Jacobite uprisings in 1715 and 1745 ended in the battle of Culloden. A terrible loss on the part of my beloved ancestors. At least the ones that fought on that side. Some opted for the crown. Since then Scottish Regiments of the British Army have seen action on about every continent and in every conflict that Great Britain has opted to engage upon. as samples to start you on your reading you might check out: Scottish Castles and Fortifications or Fatal Rivalry. Good luck.

    Hi I'm from New Zealand with Scottish ancestry, my great grandfather was Canadian, from Waterdown Ontario. The pipes have always been in my family, but I never learned to play. Has anyone even seen the 1958 movie classic The Buccaneer staring Charlton Heston as General Jackson? One of my favourite scenes is when the British assemble, fix bayonets, the battalion is ordered to quick march & the pipes & drum play Heilan Laddie, Glendaruel Highlanders & The Corn Rigs. The pipes sounds in the distance getting louder as they get closer, sending shivers down the American soldiers spines.

      What in God's name does anything have to do with Islam, which we can btw thank for the Renaissance, algebra and basically modern science? I am so tired of people being brainwahsed by neocons that I am about to have a stroke. Learn what Islam is before you flap your gums next time. They have these things called books nowadays, in which one can learn different things. Including real information about Islam rather than NATO war propaganda. It is one of the advantages of living now that Gutenberg has just reinvented movable type printing. You should check it out. That too you can thank Islam for btw.
      Islam sparked modern Europe. The Scottish have provided bagpipes, dresses for men, caber toss, bad football and haggis. And you talk about culture? You're a barbarian and a philistine!

      The Muslims may have had a culture to speak of 1000 years ago, but they stopped and went backward
      And you're slagging the Scots? The nation which developed modern medicine? Which developed radar and had physicists that were the inspiration for Einstein, a nation with more Nobel prize winners per head of population
      So, have a look through that Wiki, educate yourself on the Scots, ......a country which was developing modern culture while Muslims were cutting the clit off of young girls so they can't experience sexual pleasure.
      Truth is, while in Scotland they were developing the first flushing toilets, Muslims were still shitting in holes
