I am german and this tune was played on my husbands funeral in 2018. Scotland was and is the land of our hearts. We could not explain why, but who already knows about the ancient roots?
I'm an English man with Scottish heritage who has lived in Germany in the past and I miss Germany it is a wonderful country with lovely people who I respect so much. Highland cathedral composed by Germans Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland games held in Germany brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it.
In 2015 this beautiful melody was played by the pipes and drums of the Scots School in Bathurst NSW at the funeral of my son Shayn aged 43. Very memorable!
Quit complaining a german wrote it , you should be honoured that a german was inspired enough by our country to write such a masterpiece honestly i couldn't care who wrote it i thank them for this amazing piece of work and i dont think a scotsman could of captured a tune that defines scotland quite as well as this .
WE DO NOT COMPLAIN WHO WROTE IT WE WELCOME ANY TUNE WRITTEN FOR THE PIPES AND THEY ARE GREAT SCOTTISH TUNES WRITTEN BY SCOTLAND ECT SCOTLAND THE BRAVE A SCOTTISH SOLDIER AMD MANY OTHERS
Still back to watch this 9 years on… it just does something to the feels… especially as a proud Scot 🏴🏴🏴🏴 we are a small nation but by god we are one of the best 🏴🏴🏴
It doesn't matter who wrote it - it's a glorious tune. If anyone else, from any country in the world, would like to write anything as comparable, please do, bring it to Scotland, and we'll play it - that's because we are an inclusive country - we celebrate humanity - "a man's a man for aw that."
I agree. It's magnificent, though I'm utterly taken aback that a Scotsman didn't write it. I have this on my MP3 player and always replay it at least a couple of times when it comes around. As for 'the pipes' I love the sound they make.
Hello folks, I am a scotsman. I know this tune was not written by a scot, but it was written as a pipe harmony, whitch I hope you will all appreciate is our national instrument. I watched a documentery the other day on how the pipes inspired britain in the trenches of the world wars. In my eyes and many others it is not only beautiful, but a very inspiring sound..If you ever want to succeed at anything, try the pipes in the backround. I promise you won't go wrong. Much love to the world, we hate being in a war that we had no say in. we are a peacefull nation.
Michael Korb has always had a special liking for bagpipe music. When he finished school in 1974 and came to Berlin, he immediately took lessons with the "pipe major" of a Scottish battalion, who taught him to play this unusual instrument. When the Scots left Berlin, Michael Korb also went .... to Edinburgh, where he took daily lessons with the 80-year-old master Paddy Atkinson. During the day, he practised in Paddy's garden arbour, at night (because of the neighbours) he practised in the woods. For several years, he kept coming back to Edinburgh, until he had an adequate command of the instrument. Following publication of a record featuring bagpipe music in disco style in 1979 and the lucky encounter with the experienced and very successful arranger, producer and composer Uli Roever (who worked, among others, for Udo Jürgens and Peter Maffay), after the production of the single records "Highland Games"/"Lonely Piper" and "Dreamy Island"/"Devils Dance" "Highland Cathedral" was jointly developed and also published as a single in 1982 together with the title "By The Right-Quick-March". The two makers of the tune were convinced of its chances of success - the publishing companies were not. In spite of their rejection at that time, the tune has found its way into people's hearts - sometimes in an unusual way.
This was the tune my mum chose for the entrance to her own funeral service. God bless Maimie, you were a mum to be proud of and a special person. God bless and thanks for my own great life with my own lovely family. Xxxx
I'm an American of Scots blood and am active in the Scottish community here in California. The words calling for Scots around the world to unite and return to the home country brought tears to my eyes.
My Wife walked down the aisle to this played by a local piper in Tighnabruaich parish church 15 years ago 20.02 2002. Happy Anniversary my love Angela💘💘
I had this played at my wedding in memory of my late mother in law who sadly passed one month before we got married she was from Ayrshire love the song fell in love with it when going to this tattoo and when she passed this was my tribute to her I walked down the ails to it
@@ohauss Indeed, it just goes to demonstrate why we need to retain our national identities, protect our heritages and not become a homogeneous group. The nation state is an important building block of society. There is then absolutely nothing to prevent those indepndent nations co-operating on all things of mutual interest.
Many excellent teachers of the Highland pipes are very open to teaching people of all nationalities, races, faiths who are serious and diligent students. I have heard some of my compositions played by Grade One bands at the World Pipe Band Competitions in Glasgow. I am from Israel and was always made to feel welcome by pipers in Scotland and Canada especially. Honestly, the fact that Germans composed this melody has never been an issue in any way. Green Hills of Tyrol was composed by Rossini, and is probably the most common retreat 3/4 for pipe bands.
I am also proud to be Scottish and think this tune is brilliant, I hate being associated with Scottish Nationalism, these are horrible bitter people I fail to understand what people find attractive of this route in life? Trust me there are better ways and better people to trust! Ru!e Brittana. Scotland Forever!!!
Highland cathedral was a favourite of both my parents and it was played at both their funerals! Who wrote it is completely irrelevant - it is beautiful and moving and reminded two wonderful people of times they spent in the highlands x
Even though this video was posted quite some years ago, it still amazes me. It's so wonderfun to see all these cultures mixing together with beautiful music. It really warms my heart.
Jeder, der das Privileg hatte die Edinburgh-Tattoos vor Ort erleben zu dürfen, kann den Zauber dieser Veranstaltung nachvollziehen. Der einzelne Piper auf der Mauer des Edinburgh-Castle am Ende der Veranstaltung rührte mich zu Tränen. Schön, das zu erleben. Schottland ist das Land der Sehnsucht!
This piece of music sounds just as wonderful played by a single piper and drummer, as by a few hundred ditto ! It's simply magical...🏴 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 Love from Norway🙋♀️ 🇳🇴
was at the Tattoo back in 2006 an said that at that time was a record 130 sets of pipes playing this !, my late mums fav an played at her funeral !, still brings a lump to my throat !. hope to go back again to see the Tattoo :)
Who cares if the tune was written by Germans - it gets my Scots blood racing, and the lyrics are pretty good too, so why don't we have this as our national anthem instead of the negative Flower of Scotland which was originally composed as a lament anyway!
+Aileen Lightbody why didn't they chose for independancy? remember William Wallace (for so far the story is true of course). Those people gave their lives even it's so long ago. I know why the people chose not to, but in Andaluse in Spain it's no reason to stop trying.
+Patrick Hofkens We true Scots have not giving up the fight for Independence, its such a pity that the older generation were persuaded by the scaremongering & lies of the Establishment,which they now see them for what they were.....lies
+Jim Jamieson Yes people were made scared. I completely agree. That's why you must never give up and keep on fighting. Never give up. Many greets from Flanders.
+Patrick Hofkens The main things I think went against it were ... fear; a belief that our only asset was North Sea oil and the lack of a strong, believable currency. I think the mood has already progressed beyond fear to irritation (with Westminster) and is now approaching outrage at being treated as a backwater with no clout. More and more people are now realising that the wrong decision was made last year. I also think people are now seeing NS oil in its context - wont last forever but goes a lot further amongst the 5M population of Scotland than 68M ofUK - AND it is just a fantastic bonus, not the basis of our economy. Currency needs to be settled, though, before the next referendum. A lot of YES! people were against sharing £ sterling as much as No people were made to believe it wouldnt be allowed by Westminster - which was nonsense anyway. So we need a credible, strong alternative that people will have confidence in. I know the older generation may have made the difference, but I have to praise my 94 year old father who voted Yes because he believed it was not about him at his age but about the younger generation and the generations to come. He was a belter - miss you, Dad xx
I was at the inaugural in Berlin. .. us Sappers went there every other year to build the tattoo.... absolute awesome..... The 2 Scottish infantry regiments that year were Black Watch and Kings Own Scottish Borderers
This yank veteran always enjoys the Precision that is shown by the troops of the UK when they march. Very impressive. I ran across Highland Cathedral some time ago and it is a special song indeed. As for "God Save the Queen" That melody has been around for some time. It was also the Melody for the German National Anthem until WWI. Here in the states, we appropriated it for a song called "My Country Tis of Thee". I just saw this in a Video which was a Tribute to the men & Women of the NHS. Very touching.
For me the sweetest thing is that bass drum how intricate it is, to do that, so thank you Billy Whitla for your signature beat nobody compares to that. One of the hardest things to do musically to put your own signature on the base drum. I'd know your beat anywhere don't have to see you to know you are playing that drum
+Psyko Mantitz Don't mind who wrote it - kein problem! I don't even mind the tune of Flower of Scotland - it is the defeatist words. Why do we have to always see ourselves in the context of England? How many national anthems refer to another country? It is simply pathetic. Grrrrrr!
Its a present to all scotish people from Germany - it's yours! The people who wrote it, love(d) Scotland. Otherwise they wouldn't compose such a beautiful SCOTISH music.
Ppl like to moan god germans wrote it , well what a great song written for pipes n drums named after a big church in scotland they wrote , its a fine tune that could b written by an englishman for all I really care .
In my humble (English, and therefore possibly worthless) opinion, this tune is why God invented bagpipes. (I did used to wonder why before hearing it). It epitomises all that is fab about Scotland; Highlands and Glens (oh, and the humour of course)😊 I can honestly say it moves me to motionless. I just have to sit there, listen, appreciate and pay attention. Recommend Andre Riu’s version too.
Maybe we needed a German to write us a song that captures our country and our love for it, not a sour dirge about a battle 700 years ago. This song makes me feel more patriotic than FoS and Scotland the Brave combined!
I am proud to say I have Irish Ancestry. One can say it's close to Scotland. But i have a Scottish Lass as a DIL. She played Highland Cathedral at both my daughters weddings 🏴🏴🇿🇦🇿🇦🥰🥰🥰
Firstly, Britain is a Scottish Empire. Why would the land of King James VI, first monarch of Britain, leave its own empire? Secondly, yes it was written by Germans. But anyone who knows the history of Prussia knows that the Prussian military that built the German Empire was largely commanded by Scottish immigrants. End of disdain.

In former times Germany was Celtic. Many Germans share commonalities with scotch.

Well said mate
This tune is so moving I'm reduced to tears every time, the bagpipes are just beautiful
What a tune, a spine tingling classic, if this doesn't move you,you're probably dead.
This was the tune my mum chose for the entrance to her own funeral service. God bless Maimie, you were a mum to be proud of and a special person. God bless and thanks for my own great life with my own lovely family. Xxxx
Mine too, ❤️🏴🇨🇦
Goosebumps....it would be a beautiful national anthem for Scotland.
I'm an American of Scots blood and am active in the Scottish community here in California. The words calling for Scots around the world to unite and return to the home country brought tears to my eyes.
Highland Cathedral is one of my favorite tunes aged on the pipes, absolutely beautiful!
Once day, I hope to go to the Tattoo.
I’m born and bred in Yorkshire, England and this tune get me every time I hear it. Skilled pipers!

I’m from Ayrshire - sending love!
I can't listen to it without crying and I don't have the reason you did!
The greatest gift Germany ever gave Scotland, and I thank them so so much for it

had this at my dad's funeral... goosebumps and a proud guy right now
without the moustache
Rip your dad
This was played as my Aunt's coffin was carried from the church
There wasn't a dry eye in the church
One of the German composers has sadly passed away. The Germans love to hear the Dudelsack been played.
Also ich würde es so unterschreiben 😉 Stimmt in meinem Fall…
Our Sergeant in basic training used to blast this over the intercom speakers in our barracks every morning.
Good for him.

Yesterday, 2014-9-19, I heard for the first time, that Highland Cathedral was composed by two Germans, my countrymen!!! I could not believe it at all.
💕 I don't care who wrote it..the pipes love it and do it true justice
Real great played this great hymn. Composed by two german guys for the Highland Games!
thank you germany for a great tune
I was there. Amazing. Love being Scottish 😊
Been there for the last two years, this year they used this as the " coming out of the dark" piece and had me in tears.

I love this so much ... it is not matter if a Scott write song our not ... the music oft scottland is fantastic
One of the best ever heard. The Black Watch are very close to my heart. Really don't care who penned it, It is so Scotland it is unreal.
My dad's coffin was popped out to highland cathedral very emotional day
Easily my favourite song on the pipes.
Listening to this amazing music makes me realise that I really have got some of my Grandma's Scottish blood in me!
Lovè it.
The best version of the tune I've ever heard it gives me goosebumps and I'm English
Douglas Ward. Scottish Highlands. We conquered the world for the Queen.
I am having this at my Wedding next year such a beautiful piece of music to walk down the aisle to.
This would have to be one of my Desert Island Discs!!
Even though I'm half Scottish I can always listen to bagpipes day and night every single day love them want to move to Scotland so bad
I'm Scottish - and European - love this and all my friends in Europe !!! x
Peace to you dude. From Italy
Nothing nicer than the music of the bagpipes. Would bring a tear to a glass eye.
Not a Scottish but will have this at my funeral.
Its a present to all scotish people from Germany - it's yours! The people who wrote it, love(d) Scotland. Otherwise they wouldn't compose such a beautiful SCOTISH music.

Gives me goosebumps every time amazing played at my wedding ❤❤
Love Highland Cathedral just nothing to beat it

“Pipe major Paul Colville... Black Watch”
Jesus Christ, that’s a line to make the hairs stand up
I live in Brazil , but I do not know why this music make me better than any other music.
This gives me goosebumps &tears every time I hear it.
cannot beat bagpipe and drums,so relaxing to listen to,
this is the best tune ever :)
the most sentimental scottish tune for me, i love it
Am I right in thinking that the tune is about, the beautiful mountains , locks and lowlands of Scotland not a Cathedral building.....
This truly calls to my soul. Just wonderful.
2006 was my last year working at the Edinburgh Tattoo as a followspot operator. Good times!
Kudos to the Germans for giving us such a wonderful gift in form of such a wonderful gift.
I want highland cathedral played on pipes at my funeral when the time comes and I'm not even Scottish.
Best song ever i love the highland cathedral in Edinburgh
I was there and it was amazing the best show I’ve ever experienced

Love this hauntingly beautiful piece.
Love this absolutely fantastic and played with perfectly
I love this piece of music it's my favourite to play.
My 4 favourite songs. Highland Cathedral, Scotland the brave, God save the Queen and Auld lang syne.
Great composition no matter who wrote it. This inspires my ancestral blood.
love this one of my favourites to play
Was at the same school as pipe major Derek Potter hes an amazing friend x
das lied ist sehr sehr schön
No greater pipe song for me. And yes, I have Scottish and German in my lineup.

On day, I will... no, I MUST be there... it must be so amazing.... unbelievable....
i am Dutch, but this gives me so many good feelings, the best of the best of the really best
