It's wonderful to see Scotland and it's people so proud of their history and culture. It's taken so long. God Bless us all.
💚
And they should be ..
@Jack considering the fact i am from Pakistan, i would say i am confident and proud of my English speaking and vocabulary .. !
Cant say the same for america
@Jack yes it can.
My heart soars whenever I hear them perform. I've said, more than once, that if I'm in a coma and they can't wake me to play the music of these pipe and drum bands as loud as they can and I'll not only wake up, I'll get up and start marching.
You are not human if you don’t have tears listening to Amazing Grace.
Unless you are a musician and have to listen to it several dozen times a year.
Only the brothers of goodness and forever cry to this and it is a select few my boy.
I hear up evertime. I have been at military funerals and a funeral for a couple of police officers back home. In August 2019 I learned I have Scottish ancesters that date back to the 13th century. My maternal grandparents came from Finland. That is all the family knew. They are all gone now. I have Scottish, Swedish and Finnish on my mom's side. Plus Viking.
I am not an over emotional person, It’s a good song but in not that emotional Lmao, and it has nothing to do with being human.
I think boomers might cry, I am not in that age yet lol
I love Scottish bagpipes band,I dont know the music makes me cry it is as just I am getting stabbed by sound .my heart melts on it .beautiful people, beautiful dress,beautiful sound.
Love from Pakistan
Love, love it.
same here
You are not the only one. I think for me it has something to do with a lone piper high on a mountain playing. The sound can penetrate in its eerie way right up a Valley. Very much hilly Scotland. Yes Amazing Grace is by far the most amazing hymn played by bagpipes
Me to just that Im latin with scottish heritage
Best sound, cant explain in words.. very much near to soul. Love from Pakistan also
THEY WERE ALL AMAZING KEEP UP THIS TRADITION WE LOVE IT AND SO DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD WE LOVE YOU ALL TO NEVER LET THIS DIE.
Eileen Knowles ... I couldn’t have said it better Eileen!
Yes! They are wonderful. I love the sound of bagpipes!
Stop shouting!!!
@Jayson Clayton you were correct, no one cares
ive been playing the pipes for about 4 years now and i promise you... it will never die
The country of my birth, my beloved Scotland. Canada is my country now for 41 years but Scotland and these pipes and drums will always have my heart. Amazing grace now if that don't stir the blood you can only be dead.
Hi there. I know your comment is some months old, but just read it and wanted to say I moved exactly the opposite way around. I'm Canadian and have lived in the UK for over thirty years, the last thirteen in a rural village in the Scottish Highlands.
At the 2003 Edinburgh Tattoo there was a notable gap in the initial parade of the masses pipes and drums of about 10 soldiers. The MC pointed out the gap to the crowds , and then said ‘ but they flew in today from Iraq , please welcome the Black Watch.’ .. they marched in playing the pipes all dressed in desert fatigues.. there wasn’t a dry eye in the place....
Agree , I was there too !!!!
Wow just reading your comment put a tear in my eye
National pride, never trade it
Great Respect ✊ to you all . Thank you 😊
Superb, Absolutely tremendous. Hats off to them. Big love man
I don't care who is 'the best'. As long as they make people happy and their hearts sing when they play, that's what playing pipes does for me. 💖
There is NO BETTER WAY to hear Amazing Grace on Gods green earth! They are all SPECTACULAR! We should all be blessed to hear and see this in person, but if we can’t this venue puts you right there for sight and sound!
4:00 even the heavens weep to the soulful sound of the pipes
That sounds like one set of pipes. That’s really incredible!
when pipes are tuned properly ,chanters and drones you get that effect
This music goes right thru your bones. And I LOVE IT! Thank you!!
In 1963 my mother (Irish) and Dad (Canadian) took me, my brother and sister to see the Black Watch at the Los Angeles Forum. I was 6 years old and it's a night seared in my memory. I still get both tears and shivers when I hear bagpipes. This clip is awesome to watch and it brings back all the magic. Thank you for posting it.
Its a draw, they are all magnificent.
God bless I'm proud of my Scottish heritage amazing grace was flawless proud great great grandson of a black watch Glasgow highlander served in ww1 brought his family to America through Ellis Island his son my great grandfather got his full American citizenship by joining the US Army sadly never got to meet him
You must be so proud..incredible heritage
Yes I am but not uppity about it haha had this history teacher who would boast about his Italian heritage and how great Italy was which is fine but this guy thought it made him superior
Greetings to you. My grandfather was Scottish, brought to the US as a child, and fought in WW1 as a sergeant in the American infantry. Cyber hands across the miles. 🤝🤙
Amazing Grace was played on the bagpipes at my great grandmothers funeral mass in 1990. Still brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it.
I know what you mean, they played it at my sons funeral and I get goosebumps and tear up every time I hear them.
I have requested it played at mine...but not any time soon!
For me, as a Dutchy, this is very impressive to see, the sound of the bagpipes in combination with the drums.
Very beautiful !! Goosbumps 4 real
4Scots, but all are are wonderful. I am a Scot living in the US dying from Agent Orange from Vietnam. I would like be buried with my mother's kin in Scotland
Scott Optenberg SAO Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴 and so sorry that you are dying.😢😢.
I am so sorry, Sir. I pray your wishes will be fulfilled.
I hope ur still fighting! My pops is fighting agent orange from Vietnam aswell, its affected him so much I hope ur still in good shape

@@treyvon5041 ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😥
I love hearing the bagpipes 😍 Amazing to know that I've got Scottish heritage no wonder I'm drawn to the bagpipes even from a distance. Love how the Scottish people embrace there culture and history 🙏
That's the best " amazing grace " I've ever herd. Made me tear up a little and smile at the same time. Just perfection.
Such a Rich and Proud history I have always loved the Pipes
I am not Scot, but I love your music and traditions you kept over centuries so alive and thriving are great inspiration to us other European nations!
All the best from Regnum Bohemiae!
Respect from Scotland 👍🏼
Love watching and listening to them march. I love a man in uniform. But put him in a kilt and playing the bagpipes, I truly swoon!!
Dawn Chérie Woodworth ... that’s a word you don’t hear very often nowadays! .... swoon!
Hang on Dawn, I’ll get me kilt!!
@@duallydriver2 haha, that's a good 'un.
seems you are quite kinky Dawn ")
I grew up in a time with many parades and always the pipe and drums , the sound is part of me being only second generation born in the USA. Loved it so much that i told my parents at age 5 that i wanted to dance the Scottish dances. She found one and i did it for 14 years. Ballet was added after the first year. Most memories of that time are wonderful!
They’re performing in the rain. Damn right they’re the best.👏👏👏👏👏 their notes all begin spot on...no whine up. Brilliant!
Ron stark Ron Stark ...rain, sleet or snow?! Kudos to all!

I am a Scot living in New Zealand.Always brings a tear to the eye to hear the pipes and drums.
Same here, a scot living in Switzerland.. as soon as I hear that first note I start getting all teary eyed
God bless all the Scots !!! Greetings from Portugal
Ah Portugal a long time allie of us English. 👍
💚🏴
So hard to pick the best one, they are all so impressive. God Bless Scotland!
Amazing Grace on the pipes always tears me up.
If you want the full effect hear it at the National Fallen Firefighter Memorial ceremony in Colorado Springs, yearly in September. There are generally somewhere between 300-600 pipes there. It'll blow you away!
Nothing beats hearing the pipe bands live
The sound is incredible they sound like a recording out of a studio yes they are the best and they're Scottish they are the best
I always tear up when I hear Amazing Grace played by a pipe and drum band. It is hauntingly beautiful. I have always loved bagpipe music since a child. I am not a Scot. You don’t need to be to love the music.

Decided every year at the World Pipe Band Championships on Glasgow Green.
@MrYeshuaisyhwh there is no god
D Connell “If there was not God there would be no atheists.” G K Chesterton.
@MrYeshuaisyhwh donate blood then
@MrYeshuaisyhwh God was my pipe major so stop your B.S.
@MrYeshuaisyhwh All very well and good,,,but the question was a simple one...which band do you like?
All three are magnificent but my choice would be the Black Watch. I saw them as a child when they toured the states in the 60s and have been a fan of theirs ever since.
I was just a kid when the Black Watch came to my home town. That was more than 50 years ago. I have loved the pipes ever since. (and I a bloody American )
Whew, that's an absolutely wondrous sounding musical instrument. Beautifully haunting and thrilling at once. Thanks for sharing it!
The Atholl Highlanders
3 Scots
4 Scots Thanks again Jim. What a Fantastic recording; in the rain as well - the Highlanders were on point, beat, timbre, perfection - brilliant job !
As much as I love the black watch I have to vote for the 4 Scots Highlanders. They had a much better overall tone and pitch to their band. All three bands were absolutely amazing. Thank you for the video.
BEST!!! LEADING GUARD IS VERY CHARISMATIC IN HIS WALK..ALL SCOTISH HERO HERTIAGE WALKING IN HIS STRIDE & BAND WALKING JUST FANTASTIC!!!!!
TEAR UP IN MY EYES WHEN EVER I HEAR OLD LAUNGE SYNE, FLOWER, MYLE CANTIARE & ALL YOUR MUSIC!👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹
MAY ALL YOUR ANCESTORS BE PROUD OF YOU ALL & GOD BLESS. STAY SAFE.💐🇬🇷
My heritage being Scottish and Irish, I love this. But even if I was neither, I’d have to say the second one wins. Amazing Grace on Pipes always makes me cry
Ditto. When they all joined in I was a goner.
ALL WERE SUPERB! MAY GOD BLESS SCOTLAND, HOME OF MANY OF MY ANCIENT RELATIVES.
The Black Watch take it for their drum line alone. Those boys are sharp. The Atholl were a very, very close second. Of course Atholl was playing in the poring rain so not real an even comparison. That said I would love to see any of them here in the States.
Our world hardly deserves such inspiring perfection!
Great Respect from The Scotsman, your in My Heart.
From Bavaria in Germany 👍😊🏴♥️🇩🇪
is this Wolfie from Elwema?
Weegiecgull what do you means With Elwema?
BEAUTIFUL UNIFORMS,
I LOVE IT,
THANK YOU FOR SHARING,
LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL.
Thankyou for the video it is Boss.I am from Liverpool but my grandad was a Proud Scot from Edinburgh.When I hear the bagpipes I always feel very Emotional I love them.
@@john-lt3mj you should visit it's really become a Lovely City I have always lived my hometown but it has gone through a lit of re-generation 😉
Who needs pop music? This is life in musical form. Makes me smile and cry all at once. ❤️💪🇬🇧🏴
Up our Scottish heritage 🏴🏴🏴
All musicians gave their best.... You all are amazing! Thank you for your music 😘🤎
Yes an absolutely amazing performance and it did draw tears.
The Highlanders for sure, there is a reason they attract the top talent in the British Army, they kept the piping traditions of their antecedent regiments and it still shows.
but the Atholl highlanders aren't in the British army, they are a private ceremonial force
Airplane Doctor who
@@petraiq6044 They're still Scottish.
@Bob Bob who cares?
@@ronwray4845 brings tears to my eyes. I'm American but of Anglo-Scots heritage. I simply love this music and the pageantry. Very stirring!
I’m Scottish, walking up the royal mile hearing bagpipes I cry tears of pride😍🥰🙏🏼
Real difficult to listen to Amazing Grace on pipes. Pipers led my Grandfather's casket to his final resting place. Every time I hear it played on pipes it reminds me of having to say farewell to a great Scotsman. Can't get through the song with tears. Just beautiful.
I really love bagpipe music , there is something in the music that moves you , all of you are magnificient, sound n look great, bravo !
As good as it makes you feel dude try being Scottish it makes the heart pump louder and prouder goosebumps all over
Grabs you by the spine and focuses the mind. You don't know how lucky you are to have such culture.
Yes I do Tom Jones. If you don't have one you can borrow it for a wee while Enjoy. ,
This music touches my spirit and makes me weep.
Geeee we little one and I'm a yank to boot. Blessings to you and your families.
You all are Heros and that's was the very best amazing grace ive ever heard as I wipe my EYES SUCH HEART FELT MY FELLOW BROTHERS. ...CHICAGO.IL
When I hear the pipes playing I know help is on the way.
Im going to say that those pipes in the second video have amazingly well tuned chanters.
All the bands sound great and their dress is outstanding. Great to see such pride in/of Scotland.
Breath taking .I'm in tears..home .thanks to all of you .reminders of where we come from..
Great! Greetings from Germany! I love the sound of the pipes!
The Atholl Highlanders, Beautiful xx
I had this at my passing out parade Chepstow 1984, still sends shivers down my spine
You know, they just might be one of the best bands I've ever heard. One must give credit where it truly belongs. Golly they turn out a magnificent sound. Really gets the Scottish blood flowing! Bravo.
I can remember when the Black Watch P&D was 50 strong.. That was in 1963 for the USA tour
I was just a kid when my Dad played on the Ed Sullivan show with the Black Watch P&D.
@@littlewingpilot : Wow! What a great memory to share with grand kids.
Amazing Grace. Outstanding!! Drill and presentation excellent!
This really stirs the Anglo-Scots blood in me. Love me some pipes! Thanks for treat, guys!
Oh, I can't choose, amazing talent and the tunes were spot on. They were all spectacular!!
From America, but half Scottish…..this is incredible and gives me chills. People should learn more more about the history of their countries (e.g… Queen Mary of Scots is the person from whom the current English throne has had their descendants)
ooohhh this songs make me cry.
Godbless these country and their soldiers and to all nation upon nations
Let LOVE binds us together as we are all God's people and children.
What a grand show ,when you march too the pipes there is none better what a feeling the pipes lift you to another level.
The best sound, the pipes and drums, soul soaring stuff! 🏴❤
All pipe bands are brilliant, but I think I will have to vote for 3 Scots, The Black watch, they seem to have a perfect balance and very crisp drumming, with a bass drum cutting through at just the right volume!
Love this! Excellent! Thank you for sharing!
From the USA and from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Christmas 2020 and THIS is what I choose to listen to. A pleasure. Planning a trip to Scotland and Ireland soon.
Merry Christmas and thanks for watching! See you soon Kristine!
Been watching pipes all morning... stopped wiping tears... just let em flow
Of course they are the best in the world! They are Black Watch, after all. My old regiment. Only those in the know will understand.... (FTFT)
Agreed. MCGREGOR Despite them
My great grandfather Jack was RSM of the black watch during the battle of the somme
My dad was in the Black Watch in the 2nd world war George Sheard any one remember him?
@@patritziadransfield8303 Type in George Sheard 1BW and that may be the man. Just read it myself.
Paul Wallace ... well I’m not in the know ...but the pipes fascinates and I’m in awe of its spectacular sound! One question... if you are a piper can you tell me something... where would the unit go to practice that wouldn’t create a stir? I think that’s an interesting question, as most anybody would stop just to hear the beautiful sound!
Omg the finishing piece of the last one was frealing tight man
Served alongside the Blackwatch in Bessbrook Mill, NI, 1986...a brilliant bunch of blokes!!
Absolutely first class , it brought tears when you played amazing graze , I’m English but should have been Scottish very well done everyone x
They are all brilliant! nothing to judge here, all lovely stuff and a great pleasure to listen, too and to watch! No other country has this talent, they try but fail!
overopensights ... B+ for effort! Greetings from 🇺🇸 USA!
Canadians come pretty close. Can't match it, before their millitary bands are all reservists.
Watching this at work and I nearly shot to my feet at the opening bars of "Amazing Grace". How can anyone hear that on the pipes and not be moved?
Amazing Grace was played at my Dad's funeral.
Rich Redman only someone who is totally deaf or spiritually dead.......Most Beautiful song in the World made even more so on the pipes...
@@brucebartman9890 I've got it on my list. Hope you're ok.
@@corryjookit7818 Thank you! I am OK.
I've never been to Scotland or Ireland but I think ancestors from that part of the world left something in my genes -- still can't hear Amazing Grace without crying all the way through it.
Saw them play in LA. They were incredible. They saluted every branch of our military, by playing the hymns.
We are a Marine Corps family. It definitely put a lump in my throat.
This so emotional, and beautiful, thank you - bagpipes have been around for hundreds of years, yet it's always spine tingles, goosebumps and chills when we hear them, either as a lone piper, or in unison. Bagpipes to me always mean our beloved late Queen Elizabeth II - what a gem she was. So wish she was still here with us...... E❤
Aye, Scotland the Brave! Forever, Semper Fidelis Oorah Carry On!!
Aye the Noo
Yes I'm Canadian..PLEASE come here and show your beautiful culture..you were once apart of us!! ALL OF THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I DO NOT HAVE A FAVORITE..SORRY FOR THE CAPS..BUT I LOVE this!!!
The piping scenes in Ontario and British Columbia are vibrant and competitive. Contests all throughout the spring and summer, with bands that frequently make it to the Grade 1 finals at the World Championships. Check out the 78th Fraser HIghlanders of Hamilton, Ontario and the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band in Vancouver
@@danevans5075 I will thanks for this info much appreciated!!!😊
@@HopeLaFleur1975 you're welcome! Depending on where in Canada you live, you can learn more about bands and contests in your area here: www.bcpipers.org/about/affiliates/
@@danevans5075 The Calgary Police Band Pipers are or were great. Been a while since I've heard them
Plus all Canadian Highland Rgts (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian-Scottish_regiment) have their own P&D
My son and I are visiting Scotland in Aug 2019. I sure hope to see some bagpipe action. Just fantastic, the absolute best instrument!
If your going to Scotland in August for pipe bands you really should get tickets to the Edinburgh tattoo
AMAZING GRACE WAS MADE FOR THE PIPES AND THE PIPES WERE MADE FOR AMAZING GRACE

Black Watch Homecoming in their ' camies' beats the lot. Filmed in Perth.
yeah hard to argue with that!
Always difficult to judge such talent ; my overall favourite will always be the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards having seen them play at the Tattoo
amazing. they sound so cool playing together
THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES ALWAYS WAKES US UP WITH ITS UNUSUAL SOUNDS. A TRUE ONE OF A KIND. THE MORE THE MERRIER SIR. ❤❤❤😅
Love bagpipe music, love tartan , love men in kilts...beautiful Scotland!🖖👏👍💟
Love them all, but I do love the Black Watch!
Bob Threeton ... I do love them all!
They crowd admires ...there tradition for their country
Fantastic , amazing performance i love Scottis pipe & drum bands
My family moved to America over a century ago, but whenever I hear the pipes it stirs my soul.
I really love the band even i'm in band I LOVE IT..
Good evening from Belgium, for me the best is 3 Scots "Black watch" after 4 Scots "The Highlanders", but in fact I like Scotland and I like bagpipes, and all Scottish bands are all good and do a lot efforts to be
Simply Amazing. Beautiful music.
It must be very very hard to keep the tradition alive .. it's amazing !
Goosebumps!
