Don't ever call a kilt a skirt
kilt
/kilt/
noun
a garment resembling a knee-length skirt of pleated tartan cloth, traditionally worn by men as part of Scottish Highland dress and now also worn by women and girls.
@@icecreampastry A blouse resembles a shirt, but it is not called a shirt, it is called a blouse. A kilt is not a skirt, just because it looks like one.
@@archiebald4717 Grabbed that definition from the dictionary, tell that to Merriam Webster not me.
We kilt the last cnt that called it a skirt
@@icecreampastry key word you are missing is 'resembling'
🐾 Edinburgh is said like this,
Ed in bra 🐾
That's Edinburgh castle 🐾 Yes these songs are well known in SCOTLAND!!!!!
Not songs - Tunes ! Songs have words
The senior Drum Major is wearing trews because he is from a Lowland regiment. Only the Highland regiments are Kilted. BTW it's pronounced EDINBURR !
Edinburra
The three large pipes are called drones and produce that constant sound. The chanter is played by hand kind of like a flute.
The Chanter is more akin to a recorder not a flute
plaid = Tartan in uk, there are thousands of different tartans
The stick is a mace it is very sacred it has some of the battle honors of that regiment. The guy who is in the front is the former drum major of the Royal scots, the bands the Royal Highland Fusiliers pipes and Drums, the black watch pipes and Drums, and the Highlanders Pipes and Drums who are from 2 other Scottish regiment the Queens Owen Highlanders Pipes and Drums and the Gordon Highlanders 1st Battalion Drums and pipes
Edinburgh tattoo is held every year at Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland. where i come from except i’m from the Glasgow side of the country. All types of bands play and is watched by millions on tv and inside the castle grounds. 😘🏴
Military bands from all over the world are invited to take part in the military tattoo, including USA. The latest tattoo had Black rappers from the US military take part.
I also saw the United States Air Force Honor Guard has been there a few times!
Every Scottish family has its own tartan and you can recognise them from their colours. It is frowned upon when others wear your tartan when they are not of your ilk. Tourists will buy and wear various tartans without knowing they are demeaning the true meaning of the family's true heritage. It's like saying, I am from Romania and I will wear Stetson!. :-(
If your going to comment please try to research the subject matter. It British Military. The clue is in the Title..😂 yes, Edinburgh is in Scotland at the Castle.
I was well aware Scottish regiments are a part of the British armed forces. I’m not too knowledgeable on cities within the UK, hence why i’m watching videos, im learning.
Each tartan on the kilts represent a different clan heritage. My mums maiden name is menzies and their tartan is black and white and my dads surname is scott and his tartan is Green, a dash of yellow, red
On my moms side it's the Clan Fraser of Lovat. A nice tartan.
Ihave the MENZIES MODERN TARTAN AND IT IS RED AND GREEN.
8:06 Yes! Edinburgh is in Scotland. It's our capital city. It's pronounced ED-in-bur-uh not Ed-in-berg like you called it.
The plaid is the shawl worn over the shoulder. The design is called 'TARTAN'.
traditionally the military kilt had seven yards of woolen material which made it very warm, the wearer, at rest could draw his legs up under the kilt. No underwear made it very healthy, there were no laundry services on the front line. Modern kilts will no doubt have less weight. Pipers up until WW2 marched ahead of the troops unarmed leading the men in to battle. The decree by the Ministry of Defence in WW2 was however ignored by Bill Millin, who at Lord Lovat's request played ”Highland Laddie” then ”The Road to the Isles” in the thick of the fighting. He would do the same, later, at Pegasus Bridge.
An English comment here. Edinburgh Castle goes back to the 11th century, and so much of Scottish history - not always the prettiest history! - has happened there. (For example, two generations of the heads of a powerful noble family - the Douglases - went there for a banquet with the then King - and were murdered...) Nowadays it contains the Scottish Crown jewels - the Honours of Scotland, and you can visit.
I like the Scots - but don't mess with them! Some of the best soldiers in the British Army are Scots.
The Irish also sometimes wear kilts, but not tartan. There is also an Irish version of the bagpipe called the 'uillean' pipes. (Possibly pronounced 'ool-ian'.)
There is a huge arts festival in Edinburgh every summer, with a respectable side - and a not-so- respectable side called 'the Fringe'. This great Tattoo occurs with it. You have to book to go at least a year in advance..
I think 'tattoo' is really two words: a Polynesian word meaning marking your skin; and a Dutch word meaning some sort of music played in armies at the end of the day.
`Plad` , it`s tartan , every clan has it`s own tartan.
The plaid is called tarten. There are many different clans. Each has a different tarten design.
I've been the playing the pipes for nearly 53 years. I've played in a group bigger than this. About 500 pipers and drummers. There's nothing like the sound. A video doesn't do it justice. To play and march in step and in formation is very difficult.
It’s a regiment Mark song
We march different to the world our arms come shoulder height and it’s all about discipline , our Drill (marching) is to Instill discipline and we in the British army take it seriously
I bet you didn't even notice the Irish Guards in there.
Nope, Irish descent does not mean that I know everything about Ireland.
See this lad in Glasgow 😅😂
British Army, Killian. Go back to American wars for independence and the colonists would have heard this coming. It would have scared them. 🙂
Clearly didn’t scare them enough to lose the war.
There is airways 4 beats to bar
You asked how the Bagpipes work i used to take classes for them at primary and high school the bagpipes themselves and the Chanter (the part you blow into) acts similar to an oboe when you look inside the body called the "sound box" there is a tongue like mechanism called a Reed as you blow into it the reed vibrates it works best with a little moisture, now covering the holes on the lower section on the bottom of the bag you can play change notes so to get started playing the Bagpipes the piper starts by blowing air into the bag creating a nice cushion of air then to start playing you squeeze the bag with your arm while playing the notes and this sends the air out through the pipes it's rather common for pipers to get lung related problems like most wind musicians
They are Trews (Trousers)
Bear Skin
Walking is easier to march in 😂 changing speed and direction is harder than just walking.
So annoying to hear him saying ' like'....so often
then like don’t watch my video 👍
Lots of hairy knees on display there .....
Many a allied soldier during WW2 was delighted to hear the Pipes coming from the distance as they knew they were about to be relieved and the opposite from the Germans they knew they were in a big heap of trouble as the Scots were coming.
Saw a documentary a few years ago where German soldiers were being interviewed. Best line came from the guy who said when they heard the pipes they knew it was going to be a bad day.
If you heard the pipes either help or trouble was on the way.
When you hear the pipes, it's either for help or to rip you apart
My grandad was a piper in the Cameron Highlanders...and I am so proud he was the lone piper at the Edinburgh tattoo 💙 miss him so much
He was the lone piper standing at the top of Edinburgh castle.. absolute legend
Wow! That is great..
A lone piper is never alone xx
Kilt is what happened to the last person who called it a skirt
lol
Edinburgh is not pronounced Edinburg. It is more like Edin-burra.
@@berenlevia8486 😄
Check out their right leg ? Carry a dagger ,,, just in case some Pratt calls them men in skirts
😀😀
Obviously, tell a Scotsman, particularly a Scottish soldier he is wearing a skirt and you must have a fondness for hospital food?
The "pants" to which you refer are known as "tartan trews". This parade combines amateur pipe bands from all over Scotland with the pipes and drums ('P&D') from a number of Lowland and Highland Scottish Regiments of the Army.
All the serving military pipers and bandsmen/women soldiers participating in the tattoo are wearing full dress uniform.The trews traditionally form part of the dress uniform worn by Lowland Scottish Regiments.
By like (but different) tradition, Highland Regiments wear kilts as part of their full dress uniform..
Military Tattoo takes place every year in August at Edinburgh Castle. It’s class, can hear it from my house😁 it’s military bands from all over the world take part.
You have to listen to,
Bagpipes Bands perform “Amazing Grace” live.
It’s unbelievable.. always hits me like a punch in the gut every time i hear it. It’s a must if listening to pipes😌👌🏼💙🏴
The senior drum major was chosen from a non Highland Regiment band which is why he wasn't wearing a kilt. The massed pipes and drums are pulled from all bands attending the tattoo and in this case the band of Queen Victoria School for military children who are wearing their red tunics.
It's not plaid it's tartan and there are hundreds of different sets in this line up it's mostly Royal Stewart and the Government tartan. What we call a plaid is the long tartan throw that is over the pipers shoulder that was originally part of the great kilt or feileadh mòr which was one piece of material wrapped together to be worn as a day garment then used as a blanket at night.
One last thing when saying Edinburgh please pronounce it Ed-in-bur-uh.
He’s the drum major of 2 Scot’s ( the royal highland fusiliers )
@normanmaclean7684 mate I knew exactly who it was but thought it might of been to much information for our American cousins.
And on the 8th day God created the Highlanders and the Devil fled
Love the pipes , takes me home again , I’m an Edinburgh girl ❤️
Just across the forth from me
And I'm an Edinburgh laddie...lived within the sound of the one 'clock gun (Dumbiedykes). Too many tourists there now.
kilts are for highland regiments, Trews (tartan trousers) are used by lowland regiments.
Just a wee wordie about the pronunciation of Edinburgh although it looks like Edinburg its pronounced Edinburra as in Scotland burgh is pronounced burra. I hope that one day you can come over to Scotland as I am sure you would have a great time. Thanks for the reaction. slàinte mhòr "great health".
Thanks for the helpful comment! I’m learning quickly certain people don’t take too kindly to honest mistakes 😂
The mass band is many different bands. The kilt, (not a skirt) bands have different "Tartan" (design) of the kilt. Yes, you can say plaid but each band has a different tartan on the kilt. They wear the Black Feather Bonnet on their head. Also for instance, I'm Scottish with the last name Young which is the Douglas Tartan. My Dad started the pipe practice chanter at 6. He was responsible for starting the San Francisco Police Bagpipe band, then years later the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department bagpipe band along with a friend Fred Baird and Mac McDougal. I go to the Scottish Games in Pleasanton California every year. Still, when I hear bagpipes, tears come to my eyes...The Military Tattoo is something I plan to attend at some point...Love the bagpipes!!
Thank you for your very interesting info. So glad to hear your dad took the initiative in CA. Am now wondering if there is one in OH. My sis and brother-in-law lives 25 miles from Edinburg, Scotland.
@@victorynowall I really hope you go to visit your sister and Brother in law..They are so close. Perhaps they could get tickets to see the Military Tattoo. I can only dream of that but if I had a relative that I knew in Scotland, I would be over there in a heartbeat.
@@livingandriding Thank you for letting me know re the Bagpipes events to be held in Ohio. I am elated! Hopefully I can persuade my friend to go with me. She does alot of driving. Greatly appreciated. Yes, I have been to Scotland quite a number of times. The last was 2018 for my niece's wedding and the first time Scotland had a snow storm!
@@victorynowall You are welcome! I'm happy you have been to Scotland..That is wonderful..I will be travelling alone to Scotland next year, hopefully!
@@livingandriding Why "hopefully" be positive no matter what I am sure you'll be there. There are many day tours that you can get on. Good luck!
It was said that the sun never set on the British Empire and parts of their uniform comes from all those regions to include Africa.
The sun never set on the British empire because God didn't trust the English in the dark.
The tartans were evolved as a result of the dyes which could be found locally in each glen, coastal area, mountain side. The notion of kilts and family tartans came about centuries later.
😆😆😆the little ball on stick thing 😆😆😆,it is called a mace and used as a weapon back in the day 😆👍🏼🏴
Thanks Killian. Live 30 miles from Edinburgh. Like your style so subscrbed. Best of luck in your new life.Looking forward to next video. Do yourself a favour and react to Led Zeppelin ' Since I've been loving you,' Live version. Cheers.
Thanks for the nice comment! I’d like to start making more videos, in the middle of a move right now but I’ll make sure I make not of that!
It would be nice if you looked into the relationship and history between Scotland & England and why hearing you refer to this video as UK is so wrong 😢
FYI the two statues on either side of the arch are of Robert the Bruce and William Wallace (The movie Braveheart starring Mel Gibson was based on him).
The most factually inaccurate movie of all time lol followed by the patriot. Mell Gibson loves a good bullshit bash the English movie.
u wanna stop using like study Scottish history
Gave up after 30 seconds after a typical American reaction to something that happens more than 30 miles away.
You should save up and come across to our bonnie country laddie
Off course Edinburg 😂 is in Scotland its pronounced EDINBURGH LOOK UP THE PIPES AND DRUMS THE Black bear tune it'll make your hair stand up aw the best laddie
They are military battalions and are limited to how they March in a limited area. The audience don't mind. That is a month long nightly show which is sold out each year. That is Edinburgh Castle. Look up some of the marching battalions in Edinburgh & London before and after the Queens funeral.
Edin-Bruh, good try though. The highland regiments were formed by Queen Victoria when she realized we’re a lot meaner and a lot tougher, imagine being the enemy and hearing pipes and drums and 300 hairy arsed Scots in kilts coming youd fuckjn shit hahahahahaha. Most of the songs you hear are songs telling stories of battles, or famous people, a lot are composed, the more traditional ones are war songs played to hype up the troops and intimidate the enemy
That’s awesome! Kilts and pipes are a nena combo!
Mark I love watching mad mitch the last outpost on youtube. Superb
Some of the Highland regiments are older than Queen Victoria's time. The Black Watch goes back to 1725 and the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders goes back to 1793. Highland regiments were raised throughout the 18th century for specific conflicts but then disbanded after a war was over, eg the Seven Years War in North America against France.
Pronounce Edinbura
Scots were know as the woman from hell. By the Germans. Going into battle in their kilts. They wore them in the trenches. At the battle of El Alamein when the advance was ordered pipers went into battle playing Scottish folk tunes. Landing on the Normandy beaches, pipers, played. When Lord luvell reinforced the paratroopers at Pegasus Bridge, Normandy on D Day, He had his piper play on the advance "The Campbells are coming" We never copied or took from other nations. Our traditions were adopted. Examples Singapore police, Palestinian police force. Arab League, India. Hong Kong, Canada, Carribbean defence force, new Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, Napal. If you get the chance to see them live do. On line watch the Queen's Crown arrive at the Scottish parliament. Greetings from Upton park Jamaica.
there is a documentry on you tube about the uk nukeing new york in the 60s it was a training exersise usa wanted uk to test the air defences we got through a year later asked us to try again we got through again
Edinburgh is pronounced as Edinburra.
They are not 'fur hats' they are made from ostrich feathers.
If you don’t want to spend an awful lot of your money getting your dentist to replace all your teeth, I wouldn’t let any of these serving soldiers hear you say they are wearing SKIRTS.
Stop Saying UK its Scotland
A lot of the music that they play are traditional songs but also can be arrangements made specially for Tattoos. Bagpipes work by the player blowing air into the bag under their arm and then pressing using their arm to force the air up into the pipes. The tall one is called the drone (for obvious reasons) and the others are for the melody. The pipe with the holes is the chanter.
Sorry. Switched off. Couldn't listen to this guy!!!!!
then don’t watch cockburner
Bearskins are athrowback to the traditional uniforms... Yes they used to fight battles wearing them
Why do Americans not know much about Europes history.
I know plenty about European history, I’ve actually taken two courses about European history alone in College. However, Scotland is part of many nations in Europe, I’m not going to know as much as people who are from the UK.
do you know anything about american history????? i bet you dont
One of the people I subscribe to on Patron, is part of the team that install, remove and maintain the lighting for the event every year.
Its Edinburgh Castle, the hats are Bearskin and have been worn for well over 200 years. No we dont have leopards.(well in zoos) The kilt is worn with NO underwear making it even more intimidating. The Tattoo its self is just a show. It started as a recall to the men at the end of the day to return to base in a war. Everybody (on stage) is or was from the Armed services All the band members are fully fledge fighting soldiers..
Great video 2x👍
Its a feather Bonnet not a Bearskin and they are not all military bands, As a ex serviceman whom served in a Highland regiment and performed at the Tattoo I might just know a wee bit about it
Of course they are soldiers, check out their uniforms. Edinburgh, pronounced (Edin,bur, uh) Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland! And that is Edinburgh Castle. Educate yourself!🏴🏴🏴
Scotland isn't only Gaelic. Scotland is a combination of Gaelic, Anglo-saxon (mainly Anglo) Pictish (Ancient Briton) and Viking. You can here this mix in the way we talk.
Kirk = Norse word
loch = Gaelic word
Aye = Anglic (Anglo) word
Tartan was a ancient Briton cloth that arrived from Hallstatt Germany. (That was thousands of years ago so modern Scottish Tartan is more refined that those of Hallstatt thousands of years ago).
The oldest Tartan was found in a Pictish settlement and Ireland never had Tartan so most likely Tartan is not from Gaelic culture but Pictish culture.
The pipes were believed to arrived in Scotland through England and the Romans, Bagpipes believed to originated in the middle east so that makes sense.
Very nice video, thank you. The nations of the UK rightly feel very proud of their distinctive cultures, as doubtlessly you of your own country. Sport sometimes highlights this and I think you would be interested in looking at the international rugby matches between our countries. Passionate! Cheers
As a scotsman I love my english,welsh and irish brothers from both sides of the great divide. We need each other.
@@davidmitchell2926 United we stand, divided we fall 👍🏴🏴🏴
@@Paul-hl8yg I love my English, Welsh and Irish brothers too, but I want Scotland to run its own affairs and be politically independent.
@@revjimbob Please see my previous post friend
Sport is crazy, my University actually played the first College “American” football game in Europe earlier this year! They played in Dublin, wasn’t able to go but so many people I know went and said it was a great experience.
Americans are known for their relaxed marching cadence
There are various military Regimental Pipe Bands and a few Police Bands also
They where saluting as it was the end of their performance. The tattoo runs throughout August with shows at the Castle each night
No one can do it like the British. Yes Edinburgh pronounced Edin-bre is the capital city of Scotland.
Thay are the bad ass ones that walk in to a battle with solders the Scottish are not allowed underwear on so its cold
They would have picked the skins up from their foreign battles. And for all you people out there please say Edinburgh with the gh sounding as bura the gh is a sound not Burg. Ands its the Capital Of Scotland.
None song dude . It’s Scotland our vibe . Not Irish but Scottish.
The hats are called Bearskins, we borrowed the idea off the French, the size and shape is meant to intimidate the enemy from a distance.
Edinburruh
Their arms and legs move more in America Bands to make up for the lack of Splendour hope that answers your question can you imagine hearing this coming towards you in battle.
Kilts are tartan. There is The Royal Regiment of Scotland, The pipes and drums of The Scots Guards? Plus pipes and drums from Australia? Canada?
Explanation of the history of military tattoos in general:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_tattoo
The leopard skins are worn by drummers only. Apparently, the tradition started in the 19th century at the height of the British empire. Africans who joined the British army were found to be really good drummers and good at keeping the beat. When wearing uniforms, some of the African bass drummers began wearing an animal-skin apron to protect their uniforms because the drums were so heavy. This tradition then spread generally to drummers in other regiments. British regiments served in Africa, India, Southeast Asia and other places where such animals would be found. It's quite common to see leopardskin or tigerskin aprons in Highland regiments and even in non-Highland ones. Obviously, they have to be sourced with care now to avoid poaching and to protect endangered species.
Other people have mentioned the plaid, but here's a longer explanation. The word "plaid" is an Anglicised version of the Scottish Gaelic word "plaide" (which is pronounced like "plah-juh" in Gaelic itself). It means "blanket". And in Scotland, when speaking Scots or Scottish English, a plaid is still a blanket that can be either woven or knitted. The original kilts were very long pieces of woven cloth that could be used either as a blanket or could be pleated to form the belted plaid, also known as the great kilt. The word for the checked pattern is tartan. Nobody in Scotland (or even England) ever says "plaid" when referring to tartan.
The type of tartan patterns you see here certainly are native to Scotland. Historically, the weavers dyed the wool in the colours they could make from local plants. Gradually, different local patterns evolved and each island or glen (valley) would have their own typical colours and general kind of pattern or repeating blocks of checks and stripes that came to be known as "setts". There is no historical tradition of tartans in Ireland. In fact, there are records from the 1500s in Ireland saying that galloglass (mercenary troops) from the Scottish Highlands and Islands were easily distinguished from the local troops because of their style of clothing (belted plaid) and the fact that the cloth was "multicoloured".
A military tattoo is a celebration military musicianship & the Edinburgh military tattoo was created after world war 2 to bring nations allies & former enemies of war as friends in peace time reconciliation & to form friendships potentially & the black woolly hats are called bearskins & I am no expert & I have just watched the BBC here put on a Edinburgh military tattoo programme on every year in about August time every year & Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland & they are different British & other regimental bagpipe military & some civilian bagpipe bands but mostly military regimental bagpipe bands but I don't know how bagpipes as an instrument work as in how you play them but if anyone else can help fill in the rest of the story so to speak & feel free to at to the story or the truth please feel free ! The pattern is called tartan & there are specific colours & patterns if you are from a Scottish clan or tribe & beyond that I don't know being English by birth but I have done my best based on the best truth that I genuinely know !
The patter. is not plaid but Tartan and each different pattern will reflect a different clan. Also the bear skin hats were to make soldiers look larger and more intimidating to the enemy.
each one of the musicians is a fighting man a true soldier also the skirt is a kilt ... each bagpipe and kilt put the fear of God into the enemy !!!!!! the head wear is called a bearskin , though today it is faux fur .....
I went out with a guy from Argyles & Sutherland Highlanders their Tartan was government tartan 1 or 2.
Like I can’t like listen to like this like much longer like it’s so like boring like dude your vocabulary needs like expanding like …
Edinburg..ahh no that's definitely not how to pronounce Edinburgh
different Scottish clan wear there own tarten. It is only the clan member that can wear it.
Scotland my friend , Scotland the brave land of the free
The tall fur hats act as a distraction for modern day snipers.
Stewart tartan is the red kilt. my fave one of all the different tartans. Royals don’t attend just public and tourists
blow into the bag, queeze bag with elbow tune comes from chanter, drones provide background
Different bands both civilian and military from across the world.
It's a Scottish thing in which you yanks would never understand!
Scottish regiment Edinburgh Scottish regiment pipe band and drums
American ignorance at it's best!
dont say skirt its a kilt and dont call them british they will get mad they want to be there own county so there gonna have to fight thebritish for there freedom
Don't say Edinburgh, it's Edinboro even tho it's spelt how it is!
As we say in Scotland. Ye canny be calling it a skirt. The last person that did that got killed. 🤣🤣 Best wishes fae Scotland guys.
