And , piper's heritage(s) extend all over the world ; wherever men have watched over their flocks , they've invented the flutes , the harps & the pipes out of the materials the flock provided , seems somehow intrinsiciy 'in tune with nature' that the animals they watched over were comforted by instruments their fellows provided !

There is nothing in the world like the bagpipe. It's piercing and shrill sound so regal. So majestic. The true sound of the Scots. Spot on lads. Mo cuishla
600 pipers were wounded, 500 bagpipe players died while rallying the troops into battle. They received an extra penny a day to play their pipes. For the most part, the bagpipes skirled out the regimental tunes to get the men moving, tunes such as Highland Laddie, Bluebonnets Over the Border, and the Minstrel Boy. You can’t have been round the battlefields in the Somme and not shed a tear listening to this.
No more a comforting and assuring sound to hear if you a friend and ally, no less an ominous and formidable sound to hear coming if you are an enemy and foe.
This is brilliant, the dancing drummer, joy to watch, no wonder this cool country Caledonia Scotland has never been defeated, when our forces had to be evacuated from Dunkirk, southern towns & villages were confidently boosted by the arrival of Scottish warriors in case the germans were mad enough to cross the Channel. Albion England love you guys
My lovely dad died a month before this was made. I cried my eyes out watching this because he was a staunch fan of the Edinburgh Tattoo and every time I hear the 'pipes' I think of him. This is pure gold. Thank you from Australia. 🦘
Our father came from Scotland to Canada with his family. Our daughter just took a trip of a lifetime to see where her grandfather was born as she had never met him. She said she will never forget the warmth of the people and the sites she saw. I hope to follow in her footsteps to see Scotland some day 🇨🇦 🏴
There's a saying among some American Indian Tribes , that ( in seeking ; a friend , or your roots in an attachement to The People - all Tribes including Scoti )- " If You Seek , You Are " !! (BTW , ALL Peoples come from Tribes ) Hoorahski !! Har !
Nothing makes me so proud of my Scottish heritage as hearing the bagpipes..............and of the lineage that they present. Bless you, pipers and drummers - may we hear them for eternity. 💖💖💖
@Antivaxxer Ccp hater what he is saying is the left wing mob here in America is looking to destroy anything and everything they deem offensive or racist. Not everybody in America thinks like that though.
Scotland is massively divided here. Scotland’s culture, language and traditions have already pretty much died. It’s the job of my generation of young scots to preserve and built what we have.
Gotta disagree. You have to give it up to the Maori Haka as well as the Northern American drum circles. You can say they don't beat the pipes. That's a matter op opinion. But you have to admit when you listen to them that they come close. Here's what I mean about the first nation drum circles. It absolutely exemplifies national identity and pride to the degree the drum and pipes do, imo. ua-cam.com/video/r4wCdVtmpfA/v-deo.html
How can you forget Brittany? We have there many traditionals groups, we have fest noz, all over the year, we have the interceltic festival n Lorient where groups of celt culture from Scotland to Spain are performing. And not to forget the sea army group: the Bagad of Lann Bihoué.
This is awesome. My Dad who passed in 1998 was from Galashiels Scotland. He enlisted in the British Navy. After the war he moved to Canada got married and here I am. Miss him terribly. Had an awesome sense of humour and would never talk about the war. He loved the pipes 🥰💕
Was born in Australia (to post war immigrant Glaswegian parents) lived back in Scotland [Glasgow] a short while in the early 60's [in my childhood years] and have been back numerous occasions since [plenty of rellies]. To this day, the sound of amassed pipes and drums can quickly have me with a tight lump in my throat and tears running down my face (not ashamed), especially when they play stuff like Amazing Grace, the Black Bear, O Flower o' Scotland, The Dark Isle, etc. Must be in the blood or something. PS: God bless and rest your old man, till The Trumpet sounds, and the piper strikes up. 🏴 🇭🇲
A long time ago, and in a different place we had a Scottish neighbor who would march up and the driveway between our homes playing his bagpipe. All the neighborhood kids , of all the ethnicities joined up to march behind him. These nice videos bring back good memories! Thanks from Israel.
Loved the sound of the pipes ever since I was a little girl, get that from me mum. She was from England but felt a strong love for the Scottish Highlands and the pipes. Such a haunting, beautiful sound.
Every time I hear the pipes and drums I think of how ancient and noble they are. Those men dancing once did it on crossed swords. And the pipes were war pipes played above a battlefield to urge Scotland's warriors toward victory.
I was 12 years old, putting together a model car. There is a blank spot in my memories, I don't remember the sequence of events. My mom had to tell me what happened. While building the model car, the Black Watch began playing on a TV show. I literally dropped the model, ran into the living room and stood transfixed until the performance was over. It moved me enough that when I saw my car was a pile of useless broken plastic pieces I just said "Oh well." When my dad got home from work that night she immediately confronted him. "I don't care what your father says. He needs to know his ancestry." Up until that time, I just knew I was an American. When Grandpa immigrated to the U.S. as soon as they got off the boat he told his wife "We are now American. We speak English and English only." I started learning some of my history, my ancestry. The pipes have never failed to reach deep into me. Even before I was aware of being of Scottish descent.
I’m from Hawaii, born and raised. Since I was about 12 and heard my first bagpipe I thought it was the loveliest and most haunting. It’s on my bucket list to visit Scotland. ❤️
My papa who was in a pipe band Glasgow and he was a great drummer and used to play at the Dunblane Highland games in the 70s and 80s and when I hear the pipes and drums it always fills me with pure joy
I'm English but the sound of the pipes makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on edge - brilliant , when I was in the RAF many many years ago had to call in at the Black Watch barracks for fuel , I will never take the piss out of a man wearing a skirt ( Kilt ) again , boy they were big buggers , good on you gents
I really miss hearing the pipes and drums. Every time I hear them I get goosebumps and it calls to my soul. I believe it's because of my Scottish ancestry. 💖💖💖
The world needs more patriots. Period. Tradition. Respect your heritage people. Don't lose it no matter what. Appreciate others but always pay homage to your own. So important
Bagpipes and drums seem like a shoe-in for 18th-century military cadence and morale. I bet they served that function well on the battlefield, when efficiency and will to stand firm under fire really really mattered.
Has anyone else noticed that music has been with us through everything we’ve experienced in the history of mankind the good ,the bad, and the ugly? This was beautiful!
Speaking of The Good Bad & Ugly , On the UA-cam look up the Danish Orchestra that does a rendition of that Eastwood tune ! It will blow yer socks off ! They do have a couple of Eastwood movie tunes , right now I can't rem'ber the other , but you'll see it in the side panels .
Fourth generation Canadian. My father's folk were from Scotland. I have no idea why it happens, but the pipes stir something in me that brings me to tears (in a good way).
National PRIDE is alive and well in Scotland. No one walked away, no one took a knee in protest or raised a voice in protest. God Bless Scotland. Love the Pipes.
Playing the pipes at one time was a sign of defiance towards the English who persecuted and wanted to subdue the Scots. No different then taking a knee nowadays. You have to remember that Black folks have only really been free in this country for about 50 years. All the way up into the mid 80's some black communities lived in terror of groups like the KKK and such groups where often made up of local and state officials. More then any other threat to our freedom The US federal government is the biggest threat against freedom in America. My National pride runs thick, thats why i don't nor will i ever support the Federal government in the form that we know it as today. The federal government has a track record of of doing evil and heinous things not only to foreigners but to its own soldiers and us citizens. My National Pride is strictly reserved for the volunteer soldier and the workers and pioneers that made this country great. All most all Elected officials are complete trash. That includes Trump, Obama the Clinton and Bush family.
This makes my heart happy. My granddad was a drummer, and my grandma played the pipes, my mom did, and so do I. Mom passed away four years ago, I’ve not played the pipes since. Tears of pride watching this, as well as tears of sadness. McKinlay of the Royal Stewart clan
pick em up again. Our local pipes and drums has fallen apart since the plandemic. We've come together and pull off a few firefighter funerals and a pub crawl or two, but i miss the motivation to play regularly.
Bagpipes are one of those instruments that, if played in an "average" way, can sound terrible, but if played people with real talent, can bring tears to your eyes.
Scotland’s culture, language and traditions have already pretty much died. It’s the job of my generation of young scots to preserve and built what we have.
The whole world is needing more of this this type of thing, because you take your culture to the public and you old an young stoping an passing on stories an learning. Thank you for not only expressing how you feel but letting others do the same while you play!
Lovely. I'm sure the Queen is watching. She loves everything Scottish. Boy, do I miss the Queen Mother and Prince Philip.The world is at a lose without them. But I thank God every time I remember them.
WOW. I would be in my glory hearing this live. They're all so very lucky to have this. We need more of this in the world to come together. Thank you from America!
I mean, we did have a people group who do have a tradition of martial music. Too bad the Government decided to genocide these "Savages" instead of trying to coexist.
Look on line for Scottish Events !! They're extremely popular & a real hoot to experience ! The first one i went to , a guy had just tossed the caber and walked into the tent with food & drink in it - this guy was a huge redheaded barrel of a man , likley 320lbs with thighs the size of small trees - people cleared his way - as he walked ' " With Purpose " !! Lots of exhibits & trade crafts , now go find one !! Some do re-enactments of battles also ! Spring & summers .
So beautiful to see freedom and the response to something positive being shared. This is a perfect example of Humanity enjoying each other. It's the simple things in life that are worth the most.
I grew up in an area of Detroit, Michigan known as historic Corktown. There a lot of history there. From the early settlers in Detroit. I recall St. Patrick's Day and the wonderful bagpipers! My dad, a WW11 vet, had a great send off. Bagpipers were in attendance, along with a 21 gun salute. The Army covered his coffin with our American flag, and presented it to my mother.
of all flashmob videos, this is my favorite. they way they pulled it off and the tune selection and the tightness of the band. best damn piping i've heard in my life from a band. in these times of social distancing and worry over what's happening here, i have come back to this video to help lift my spirits. there must be something genetic in the celtic/pictish spirit for the pipes. they draw me like nothing else does. my family has been here long enough to help settle this country, when the frontier was just off the shoreline. we left scotland to get away from the british crown. but i hear the pipes and something comes over me. alba gu brath.
I'm American, but I'm sure I have some Scottish blood because the sounds of the bagpipes just go straight to my heart. I get so excited when I hear them!
Hi my friends . Im a german . It was woooonderfuuuuul , i cant wright , i have so many smoke in my eyes . Thank you for the GRANDIOS music Greetings from EuerMerkwürden🥰☮☯♾
My father came from Glasgow and we have just spent 2 weeks touring around Scotland in a motor home. This was my first visit I'm 69 . When ever i here the Bagpipes i think of dad and always get a tear in my eye...Such a lovely place .....
As we all originated from tribes , rest assured that any who kept sheep , also have the same sort of diets and talents at converting certain pieces of them into bagpipes , ' canteens ' , water wings (!) , & so forth . Ask your relatives if any also have the plaid cloth designs in your backgrounds ; they indicated the families within the tribes - important stuff in battle or annual Spring Games - ( And Wife Gathering Fun-Fests ! Har ! ) MY dna indicates that I , with Celt background came from your general area to begin with ! ) Keep Grinning !
As a teenager I was so privileged to be a part of The Black Watch drum and bugle corps from Auburn WA. It was an amazing experience that I will carry forever. The dedication, discipline and countless hours of rehearsal are returned in the sense of pride you feel being part of an amazing collaboration and experienced something rare enough that you take with you for a lifetime. Go get'em ladies from Hell!
The Bagpipe man who played for my Mom & Dad's funeral happened to be black and was an excellent player ! Knowing the history of the 'Black Irish' , and we both joking about , & asked him since there was the Black Irish if he wasn't a Black Scotsman ! We had a good laugh . That was in 2010 , at the Riverside Calif. Arlignton Miltary Memorial site , across the highway from the USAF's March Field .
I'm not from those parts - I'm across the pond. ♥️Loved it! (don't know why, but bagpipes always make me tear up) It was nice to see the men dancing! I've only ever seen the ladies! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
I was flying from U.S to U.K and one of my stops was in Dublin, Ireland. And there was so many different types of music being played. It was truly amazing and I loved hearing all that heritage in person. Keep up the good work and stay proud of where your roots grow!
Simply incredible, I have been to Scotland 2 times and the air that is breathed speaks of courage and emotion. I am Argentine but I adore his story of struggle and blood for freedom
Even as a kid the bagpipes stirred my soul. I did not learn of my Scottish heritage until 7/4/20 and being 53% Scottish it finally makes sense! Now at 53 a lot of other questions have been answered since then as well! Relations go back to the Buie and Briar families in Scotland. Able to trace the Buie family back to 1405.
I am a Hong Konger who still crave for/miss such gorgeous bagpipe shows badly!!! It was always part of the military parades for the Queen's Birthday in April every year when the weather in HK was quite hot!!! It always boggles me how they could stand such intense heat in their thick costumes!!! Besides this and above all, I miss the superb British governance before the switch of sovereignty back in 1997!!!
Hk Lau - Thats why we Brits like the Chinese Hong Kong immigrants into UK more than any other. FAR more. Only the Sikhs adapt as quickly and completely into British way of life. We miss Hong Kong too
Hk Lau, I am American. It is currently fashionable in my country for Liberals to decry "colonial powers" of all stripes. I, for one, do not hold with that fashion. Without glossing over the offenses most colonial powers, including the British, committed, I sincerely believe much of the world was a safer, more humane and just civilization for subjects in many of the former colonies administered by the British.
I'm not Scottish but Irish and every time I hear the bagpipes it brings me back to my ancestors from 1812. We are a very strong group starting with me and my children. They are more Irish than I am because my husband is also Irish.
Um 1970 zog eine Pipband durch die Mönckebergstraße in Hamburg. Ich war ca. 7 Jahre alt und war meiner Mutter entkommen die mich verzweifelt gesucht hat. Erst am Rathaus Markt hat sie mich eingefangen und mir den Arsch versohlt. Seither liebe ich die Scottish Bagpip. Meine tiefe liebe euch tollen Musikern. MfG Holger
I'd give anything to be a place with a sudden Scottish Flash Mob! The excitement, my skin tingles, heart jumps a bit & I get tears of happiness every time I hear Scottish music! So proud of my Scottish heritage! Born in Huntington, West Virginia, USA & live in Lilburn, Georgia USA. The annual Scottish Music Festival in Stone Mountain is something I look forward to & the closest I will ever get to Scotland, but oh my gosh the deep hearfelt connection I get at the festival! 💯😀😍❤
I have been moved by this music since was 4, and felt like a little Scottish girl. No I'm not a Scott by birth, but there's a Scott inside me somewhere. I feel instant joy, hope and a sense that help is on the way. 👍😁
Im getting tired of everyone hurrying to get their phones to record everything, can't we just enjoy the moment. I guarantee you won't forget this stunning performance,the mind is the best recorder ever invented.
I've no idea why but I had a massive lump in my throat and made me shed a tear. It might because I'm Scottish and its just embedded in my routes, never experienced such an overwhelming feeling of pride and honour.

*The sound of bagpipes invoke something within us we'll never be able to explain. No matter where in the world you are, you feel it too.*
And , piper's heritage(s) extend all over the world ; wherever men have watched over their flocks , they've invented the flutes , the harps & the pipes out of the materials the flock provided , seems somehow intrinsiciy 'in tune with nature' that the animals they watched over were comforted by instruments their fellows provided ! ( The exact wordage escapes me at the moment , my mental drawers are in disarray ! )
You mean the urge to run in the opposite direction?
There is nothing in the world like the bagpipe. It's piercing and shrill sound so regal. So majestic. The true sound of the Scots. Spot on lads. Mo cuishla
We all have a warrior spirit and the sound awakens the inner warrior and the call to battle
@@Reginald-rr1gh That cracked me up! 🤣

One of the best comments I have read on UA-cam lately. You said so much in a few sentences. It adds to the appreciation of this video.
It's like hearing reinforcement had finally come from the highland "hold the line men "
No more a comforting and assuring sound to hear if you a friend and ally, no less an ominous and formidable sound to hear coming if you are an enemy and foe.

I will never tire of listening to bagpipes.
Amazing how an instrument with only 9 notes, can produce music that brings tears to my eyes, every single time I hear it.
Made me wish I could still dance! (Stupid arthritis!)
Ditto
Brings tears to everyone's eyes and blood from their ears listening to this!
I totally agree
Remember the Heart beats one beat at a time!
Anyone else get emotional out of nowhere just watching this performance?
Yes😭
Every single day!

actually, it's best to listen to it live...WONDERFULL!!
thats why I always carry shades.
Heck, I’m a puddle of tears right now...this is so intense, and I’m not even scottish
Same here
I ... love the pipes.
Respect to the Scottish people I hope this traditional music will be with us forever 👍🏻
PRAISE BE TO GOD AND ALL SPIRITUAL THAT IT IS
Try and stop us. It's never worked before...
I have some very distant kin in Scotland in Clan Ferguson.
When the pipes call every one within earshot is a Scot.
Yes it is. It's a great instrument.

Don’t stop playing , your mother would be so sad
the two squaddies dancing was f*cking brilliant
I will never tire of hearing the pipes!
Bagpipes are one of those instruments that, if played in an "average" way, can sound terrible, but if played people with real talent, can bring tears to your eyes.
It's not really a standalone instrument. You need several
2 scots = a brawl
3 scots = a riot
4 scots = a revolution
5 Scotts a ruling Empire over the British!!!
Hell yeah, well put, and said
Lol
@@fredfullarton7072 now your definitely dreaming.
@@newton18311 Maybe,.......but it's a lovely thought!
Makes me feel so proud of this sound of Scotland
Scotland’s culture, language and traditions have already pretty much died. It’s the job of my generation of young scots to preserve and built what we have.
@@rmac8378 Thats where you are wrong. In Canada the culture thrives, many immigrant scottish and irish to Canada will ensure that never happens.
WPM!
We do very well - when we lead .
Oh aye me to
Excellent. Thank you. The Aulde Alliance still lives. From France, with love.
The most amazing, heartfelt and touching music in the world. It always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you!
😢 makes me so homesick from Canada,
This is so beautiful, I have tears in my eyes and I'm Mexican! I think my soul came from the highlands ❤
Lovely words
Meee too!! I'm Cuban...it must be Spanish roots... La Gaita - bagpipes
God bless you 🙏, im Scotlands child myself 💖💗💝
Everyone's soul was born in the Highlands. Quite literally. 🤗
Scotland in my blood and heart.
me also....
Very impressing! Chears from Germany and all my love to Scotland!
The whole world is needing more of this this type of thing, because you take your culture to the public and you old an young stoping an passing on stories an learning. Thank you for not only expressing how you feel but letting others do the same while you play!
A BIG AMEN!!! A SCOT IN KANSAS:)
Lovely. I'm sure the Queen is watching. She loves everything Scottish. Boy, do I miss the Queen Mother and Prince Philip.The world is at a lose without them. But I thank God every time I remember them.
WOW. I would be in my glory hearing this live. They're all so very lucky to have this. We need more of this in the world to come together. Thank you from America!
I'm not Scottish, but after watching this video I wish I was.
I wish we had more of this in the United States Of America 🇺🇸. This is beautiful! Love it! ❤️🎶❤️
You do you have some of the worlds best pipe bands in America.
I mean, we did have a people group who do have a tradition of martial music. Too bad the Government decided to genocide these "Savages" instead of trying to coexist.
Oh haha I was gunna say you’d be surprised how many people play the pipes in America. I just recently joined a band
You want AMERICAN patriotism....go to a #TRUMP RALLY 🐸🇺🇸💞
Look on line for Scottish Events !! They're extremely popular & a real hoot to experience ! The first one i went to , a guy had just tossed the caber and walked into the tent with food & drink in it - this guy was a huge redheaded barrel of a man , likley 320lbs with thighs the size of small trees - people cleared his way - as he walked ' " With Purpose " !! Lots of exhibits & trade crafts , now go find one !! Some do re-enactments of battles also ! Spring & summers .
Watching this in lock down what this country should be proud of
I love Scotland.The nature,the people and the music!!!
So beautiful to see freedom and the response to something positive being shared. This is a perfect example of Humanity enjoying each other. It's the simple things in life that are worth the most.
I grew up in an area of Detroit, Michigan known as historic Corktown. There a lot of history there. From the early settlers in Detroit. I recall St. Patrick's Day and the wonderful bagpipers!
My dad, a WW11 vet, had a great send off. Bagpipers were in attendance, along with a 21 gun salute. The Army covered his coffin with our American flag, and presented it to my mother.
of all flashmob videos, this is my favorite. they way they pulled it off and the tune selection and the tightness of the band. best damn piping i've heard in my life from a band. in these times of social distancing and worry over what's happening here, i have come back to this video to help lift my spirits. there must be something genetic in the celtic/pictish spirit for the pipes. they draw me like nothing else does. my family has been here long enough to help settle this country, when the frontier was just off the shoreline. we left scotland to get away from the british crown. but i hear the pipes and something comes over me. alba gu brath.
I’m not even Scottish, but the sound of pipes just makes me cry; so proud, so noble.
Having watched the mass pipes at the Queen’s State Funeral today, I felt very proud. They were magnificent. I hope the Scots don’t leave the Union…🇬🇧
Oh I hope we do
I hope they do, they have a chance to escape this mess
RESPECT TO ALL SCOT PIPERS!! LONG LIVE, HEALTH TO YOU ALL.🕊👏👏👍👋🏴🇬🇷
this still makes me smile every time i watch it...proud to be scottish x
I'm American, but I'm sure I have some Scottish blood because the sounds of the bagpipes just go straight to my heart. I get so excited when I hear them!
Hi my friends . Im a german . It was woooonderfuuuuul , i cant wright , i have so many smoke in my eyes .
Thank you for the GRANDIOS music
Greetings from EuerMerkwürden🥰☮☯♾
Hearing the bagpipes really makes me feel proud to be Scottish and proud of my heritage.
My father came from Glasgow and we have just spent 2 weeks touring around Scotland in a motor home. This was my first visit I'm 69 . When ever i here the Bagpipes i think of dad and always get a tear in my eye...Such a lovely place .....
Brought tears to my eyes. Why?
Despite of I am Hungarian, even more, I have never been in Scotland, this scottish bagpipe always makes meg teardrops. Marvelous instrument!
Awesome watching this parade by the bag pipes from scotland
As we all originated from tribes , rest assured that any who kept sheep , also have the same sort of diets and talents at converting certain pieces of them into bagpipes , ' canteens ' , water wings (!) , & so forth . Ask your relatives if any also have the plaid cloth designs in your backgrounds ; they indicated the families within the tribes - important stuff in battle or annual Spring Games - ( And Wife Gathering Fun-Fests ! Har ! ) MY dna indicates that I , with Celt background came from your general area to begin with ! ) Keep Grinning !
That was lovely to hear and to see. Much love from England.
Thanks for this UA-cam rabbit hole.. amazing sound.
I just found this video. My grandma was a Scott, and beautiful in her day. I love Scotland!
Fly me to Scotland NOW big Kev from South Wales ❤
As a teenager I was so privileged to be a part of The Black Watch drum and bugle corps from Auburn WA. It was an amazing experience that I will carry forever. The dedication, discipline and countless hours of rehearsal are returned in the sense of pride you feel being part of an amazing collaboration and experienced something rare enough that you take with you for a lifetime. Go get'em ladies from Hell!
Aww the pipes the best sound in the world of course I’m Scottish and proud listen to those boys ❤
I'm an African American and bagpipe music brings tears to my eyes!! 🙏🏽
The Bagpipe man who played for my Mom & Dad's funeral happened to be black and was an excellent player ! Knowing the history of the 'Black Irish' , and we both joking about , & asked him since there was the Black Irish if he wasn't a Black Scotsman ! We had a good laugh . That was in 2010 , at the Riverside Calif. Arlignton Miltary Memorial site , across the highway from the USAF's March Field .
My grandfather served in the queens own highlanders, A.K.A one of the regiments That once constituted what is now 4SCOTS. This fills me with pride.
I love to see country men celebrating their heritage. This makes the world a better place. Thank you all.
Yes it does you all should be very proud of your country and your beautiful music and you're highly dancers thank you again 🙏🎶🎶🌹
I'm not from those parts - I'm across the pond. ♥️Loved it! (don't know why, but bagpipes always make me tear up) It was nice to see the men dancing! I've only ever seen the ladies! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
I don't know why, but the sound of bagpipes always brings tears to my eyes, I love it so very much. Great concert! Thanks
I was flying from U.S to U.K and one of my stops was in Dublin, Ireland. And there was so many different types of music being played. It was truly amazing and I loved hearing all that heritage in person. Keep up the good work and stay proud of where your roots grow!
May God bless those what keep traditional music alive.
TTLt106 love your expression too
Simply incredible, I have been to Scotland 2 times and the air that is breathed speaks of courage and emotion. I am Argentine but I adore his story of struggle and blood for freedom
Even as a kid the bagpipes stirred my soul. I did not learn of my Scottish heritage until 7/4/20 and being 53% Scottish it finally makes sense! Now at 53 a lot of other questions have been answered since then as well! Relations go back to the Buie and Briar families in Scotland. Able to trace the Buie family back to 1405.
I love bagpipes. It stirs something in my soul.
I am a Hong Konger who still crave for/miss such gorgeous bagpipe shows badly!!! It was always part of the military parades for the Queen's Birthday in April every year when the weather in HK was quite hot!!! It always boggles me how they could stand such intense heat in their thick costumes!!! Besides this and above all, I miss the superb British governance before the switch of sovereignty back in 1997!!!
Hk Lau - Thats why we Brits like the Chinese Hong Kong immigrants into UK more than any other. FAR more. Only the Sikhs adapt as quickly and completely into British way of life. We miss Hong Kong too
Hk Lau, I am American. It is currently fashionable in my country for Liberals to decry "colonial powers" of all stripes. I, for one, do not hold with that fashion. Without glossing over the offenses most colonial powers, including the British, committed, I sincerely believe much of the world was a safer, more humane and just civilization for subjects in many of the former colonies administered by the British.
I'm not Scottish but Irish and every time I hear the bagpipes it brings me back to my ancestors from 1812. We are a very strong group starting with me and my children. They are more Irish than I am because my husband is also Irish.
Um 1970 zog eine Pipband durch die Mönckebergstraße in Hamburg. Ich war ca. 7 Jahre alt und war meiner Mutter entkommen die mich verzweifelt gesucht hat. Erst am Rathaus Markt hat sie mich eingefangen und mir den Arsch versohlt. Seither liebe ich die Scottish Bagpip. Meine tiefe liebe euch tollen Musikern. MfG Holger
Fantastic!
The piper's of ww1 had to be the first over the top of the trenches without a weapon? Lest we forget.
Soy Venezolano.a los 14 años vi una pelicula donde ejecutaban esta bellísima música.desde entonces adoro esta música de Escocia.
I'd give anything to be a place with a sudden Scottish Flash Mob! The excitement, my skin tingles, heart jumps a bit & I get tears of happiness every time I hear Scottish music! So proud of my Scottish heritage! Born in Huntington, West Virginia, USA & live in Lilburn, Georgia USA. The annual Scottish Music Festival in Stone Mountain is something I look forward to & the closest I will ever get to Scotland, but oh my gosh the deep hearfelt connection I get at the festival! 💯😀😍❤
My Great Grandfather was Anderson of Aberdeen and I use to love hearing him play the pipes....my hats to ya
My respects for Scotland culture,lovely people, good hosts, I hope to return one day,unforgettable experience.
With regards from Australia.
I have been moved by this music since was 4, and felt like a little Scottish girl. No I'm not a Scott by birth, but there's a Scott inside me somewhere. I feel instant joy, hope and a sense that help is on the way. 👍😁
When listening ..my hairs get frozen...my eyes wet...my soul happy 👍🏽
Only My ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 for this music... thanks for this video from Buenos Aires Argentina.
Im getting tired of everyone hurrying to get their phones to record everything, can't we just enjoy the moment. I guarantee you won't forget this stunning performance,the mind is the best recorder ever invented.
Ken Brown well anyone that does for me I’m happy
Im from Boston and until I get there I appreciate the recording
Your probably English..stop preaching
Johnny McDermid RHF Sangin Afghanistan 2007 one of the best soldiers I ever served with. RIP brother
Condolences. Thank you for everyone’s service, especially those that sacrificed the most.
I'm sorry for your lost he's a hero for sacrificing himself for the world
I've no idea why but I had a massive lump in my throat and made me shed a tear. It might because I'm Scottish and its just embedded in my routes, never experienced such an overwhelming feeling of pride and honour.
The Bass Drum player plays and lead the group from his heart.
Was that the Drum Major playing the snare drum?
