- First gathering in 2018 of the massed pipes and drums from the Cairngorms and Aberdeenshire, held in Royal Deeside near Braemar. The pipe bands are led by leading Drum Major Roland Stewart of The Lonach pipe band and the the other 10 bands present were Ballater & District Pipe Band, Huntly & District Pipe Band, Inverurie & District, Grampian District Pipes and Drums, Grampian Police Scotland Pipe Band, Granite City Pipes & Drums, Kintore Pipe Band, Towie Pipe Band and the Gordon Highlanders Ass (Aberdeen) Pipe Band.
I am a Scot of 89 years and when I hear the bands play I have an apple sized lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. "You can take a Scot out of Scotland, but you will never take Scotland out of the Scot.
😊😊
Mate lm a Scot who was born in 89 and moved to Australia in 93. When the boys in the snare drum start, the hair on the back of my neck stand up and tears start welling up. Just something aboot it!
The bands have a unique way of touching one’s soul. I remember feeling that way as a young child maybe 5 yrs old in Canada. I still do whenever I hear bagpipes
I'm English and part German and bag pipes make me cry. My dad used to play amazing grace and flower of Scotland and others when I was a bairn.
I am ninety years and so proud of my heritage, every time I hear the pipes play my chest almost burst with pride. If you want to experience real pride. March into battle with a piper. You feel as though you could go through a brick wall such is the feeling.
Just watch a wee vid, the kids are still training, 'Cadets in the highlands', wee lassies and laddies 15yrs +
My father went in behind the Black Watch at El Alamein 2.
Although part of a small American medical unit attached to the British 8th Army before operation torch
He we t in a bayonet charge with his mates
I asked what motivated him in such a daring move--it was the pipes Mick and the love of his mates.
Year Fter year we would attend tattoos a d highland games.it was the only time he would cry.we are Highlanders and scots irish from County Down.
I still have that bayonet...
My deepest RE.spects to you Sir.
We are forever in your debt.
so proud that you voted Stay 😂
In WW2 and in battle and a piper was playing his bagpipes. Everyone was seriously injured and dying. Not one bullet aimed at the piper
How can you not love the bagpipes, they go straight into your soul
Chris yes indeed and Im a S. African and the sound of those Bagpipes impregnate my soul.
I also love the drum players swinging those drumsticks.
Trusting that I'm using the correct terms here.
In SA, I was lucky enough to join the cadet band, at school playing the bugle. Not what I wanted but was the only available opportunity.
I was also taught to handle the mace.
When I saw those drum majors, it made me think back 57 years.
My late father-in-law, a Scottish soldier during WW2, introduced me to this music.
It's great stuff!!!!
Yes! Precisely! I think, oddly, that these sing like a tenor sax. Does anyone else hear any resemblance? There’s simply no more space inside me, just the astounding music.
@Rumble Parler meaning what exactly.? The Scots and Irish share a common bond of identity. Both are Celts.
I’m a Scottish blooded Australian and the pipes stir something deep down in my soul 🏴 🇦🇺
I have loved reading the comments from folk from all over the world in support of Scotland and of the music, whenever I hear the bagpipes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end and my step my big hoofs start to tap away................this music isn’t just for Scots.........it’s our gift to the world and again I thank you all for the amazing comments.
God bless you all from Scotland.
Chuck Finlay I LOVE LOVE the bagpipes. You’re very lucky to live in such a beautiful area. XX
My father's ancestor come from Scotland the Boyds
Terribly sorry to hear about the English part my deepest sympathy
@flyback 2me ..... Then stop Electing Socialist Cunts playing Santa Claus....
Chuck Finlay ..I’ve never been able to understand why every time I listen to bagpipes I get tears rolling down my face ... but by reading all the comments I see Im not the only one! Btw Im Italian :)
This kind of culture must be charisdhed forever.
The sound of bagpipes together with the perfect drums always gives me goosebumps
Same
yes indeed and that's why they were so popular in battle, what man wouldn't be instilled with courage when accompanied by this sound
That means yer Celtic, yer git Celtic blood in ye. I’m a German Irish and will always say Faugh a Ballah für das Kaiser.
manfrombritain - what??
I am native american, and I feel the same
When i hear the Scots bagpipes i return back in 1963 when young boy 17 years old i tried to find my luck travelling 5 days from Greece to Scotland ,working in Govan and elsewhere North East England while studying.That music of the Scots bagpipes makes to glow my heart !!!!!❤❤❤❤
As Chuck Finlay so rightly said, this music isn't just for the Scots,..... it's their gift to the world. 😍
Chuck Finley is forever
I ABSOLUTELY agree
Absolutely! I'm a Jersey girl and I'm blown away! Will I ever make it back... I don't think so....
That's how blown away I am!!!
So wish I get to see this one day!♥️
Absolutely agree 100%
Not for the English that's for sure, Scotland the land of the Brave 💪
I'm a 51 year old Dutch girl with no ties to Scotland whatsoever, but these pipes make me cry in a good way. It feels like home. And it's too long ago that I felt that like that. Thank you for the upload.
If you are 51 you aren't girl, you are woman
@@yoman274 Thanks, you just made me feel 'old', lol.
@Hugh Jarse That's a kind thing to say, Hugh, thank you. 😁❤👍
The town of Tilburg was liberated by Scots
Mooi hé
I don't know how much of my DNA is from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, or England but I feel this music in my bones. It's like something in my blood is calling me home...
Agreed. My lineage is that of a Russian/Poland Jew. But my father played many woodwind instruments, including the pipes. Grew up with them. Part of my musical DNA.
SAME!
My DNA is not from Scotland, Ireland, Wales or England but I like this music too! Regards from South Germany. Peace to all nations!
I live in Kazakhstan, a native of Russia, but I always like this music, as well as the Irish step.
I was this way all of my life, I love the bag pipes.( I am 64 years old). I knew some my heritage, for 40 years, but received the papers in 2016'. All my life I was amazed at how close in mannerisms I was to the Scottish. I found out that on my Dads side, I am the 13th generation cousin to King James 6th of Scotland/1st of England. (and that I worked with a friend for about 13 years and didn't know he was my cousin.) My ancestry went back to two more Kings in other empires other than Scotland. So you could be more than Scottish Royalty. Look at the portraits of the Scottish Kings and Queens, and any wood carving and pictures etc. that you can. You might be surprised to find you are looking at yourself or a family member. My daughter looks just like Prince Charles Edward Stewart and our faces are scattered all over the Royality. It seems that it isn't rare to be related to Royalty, but it is very rare to be a direct line to Royalty. And you most likely could be related to the direct line and more. Here's one that might surprise you, the Egyptians would vacation in England and Scotland. If you do research, do not disregard any strange names. I have a Blevins and a Pleasant for ancestors. And save everything you find, you might find more pieces to the puzzle later. I have always loved the bag pipes and now I know why I love them so...One thing I almost forgot, your Royalty will show. I have had people ask me if I was in the military ( I stood so straight), I never was, and people told my daughter that they could tell I was related to Royalty. it was my ancestory showing.
i was born a southerner but the Bagpipes always moves me very deeply amazing thank you people of Scotland
I'm a southerner as well and my ancestors are Scottish
Long life to Scotland!!! It's not only the music. Is everything. Everything is charming in the marvellous Scotland
Nothing stirs the blood of my ancestors that runs through my veins like the pipes! Makes my heart sing! God bless you all and God bless Scotland!
Tis True and God bless you as well!!!!!!
Absolutely Amazing Sir... Cold shivers... What an amazing setting... Rgds.
Amen!
I'm not Scottish but full Celtic blood runs through my veins and the sound of bagpipes and drums always gives me shivers of pleasure. Very impressive!
The greatest thrill possible to see and hear the pipes and drums and of course the drum majors I was a drum major myself
I have no known connection to Scotland, but this video makes me homesick for a place I've never known. It's beautiful!
you must have been scottish in a past life 😉😂💙🏴
Book a holiday, great times in Scotland. Awful weather..............
Well - you may be. I loved the pipes and drums, uniform and drill since I was a kid so much I wished I was Scottish. I didn't know it until Ancestry confirmed that wish - 6% and that will do!
@@tireachan6178 been no bad weather recently to be fair... let’s see how long that lasts 😂
Imagine the feeling of having that blood course through your veins and you can feel it pulling you home. Unexplainable.
Home of my people. The Scottish Highlands. We are Warriors, we are poets, we are proud and we are strong. The Highlands are a tough and rugged place to live, but it has a majestic beauty , a land with a rock hard foundation, and mountains to soar over the clouds.
@SteppenWolff100 You got a problem pal. SAOR ALBA GU BRATH
Over the clouds?🤔
@@westaussie965 can confirm there is infact mountains above the clouds 😂

Thank you for your Service Sir’s 💯💯❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️💯💯 !!!!!!!! 🤙🏽🇬🇺🇲🇵🤙🏽 !!!!!!!!
My hat's off to you good sir. Former Firefighter of 4 years with desert hills fire and 3 year fire PMC captain and field medic.

@@mattironwood6360 You as well good Friend.
You sir must have heard me playing my bagpipes the only army private to play the bagpipes since the age of 12 and all thru high school. I still in Connecticut for military veterans and fallen first responders funerals as my respects to their families and loved ones.
My great uncle was buried with his bagpipes in Canada. He moved there from Scotland. I barely remember him in the 1950's playing his pipes. I was so intrigued and have loved the music all my life. Proud to have Scottish blood running through my veins! I'm from the Clan Anderson and also related to the Ingrams, Walkers, McDonalds, and Boynes. Probably a few more as well. Thank you so much for this music.
I have always loved hearing the bagpipes. My father-in-law was 100% Scottish and when the different bagpipe groups came to San Diego to perform, he always invited me and my husband to see the performance with him and mum because we were the only other ones in the family that loved the pipes. In fact Pop caught me crying and when I looked up at him, he was too! It was so stirring.
Of Scottish decent here in America and proud of my heritage. Love those deep soul feelings every time I hear bagpipes. Thanks
In these difficult times, I like honor and patriotism. Greetings to my Scottish friends from Hamburg Germany !
@ANZUS MAGA And may God bless Australia ! Greetings from overseas :) Hamburg/Germany
Save me some bier and pretzels!
Yea, with trump around Honor decreased and his “patriotism” translates into FCism.
@@davemaxs4136 Never. This is a tradition. And it is good to keep our traditions. As a German I keep mine as I learned from my Grandma. Everyone shall keep his roots. That is all we have. And that has nothing to do with facism. Best wishes from Hamburg/Germany
A yank of Scots descent, but I was 11 before I ever heard the pipes. It set a fire in my blood, and I *ran* to find the source of that glorious sound. It had stopped by the time I got there so I went door to door, asking if anyone knew -- and it turned out it was "Auntie" Ruth McLeod (from Lewis no less!) who was feeling homesick, and had put a record on. To this day, the sound of the pipes sets a fire in my soul.
Aye, a sound that calls to the heart and soul. I've visited Lewis several times, a lovely remote place.
I'm an Aussie with Scottish blood. I was the same age when i saw a bloke playing and told my parents that I wanted to learn.
An Aussie of scots heritage...my father played the pipes and as a weeun I would keep up behind him as he paced....the melodies are burned within me forever.
U're welcome ye Piper... 👍🏻
ditto, i weep
I have loved the bagpipes since I was a child!!! They just pull at me and almost make me want to cry!
I have a special love for Scotland 🏴 also! I believe because my father has always told me we have Scottish blood. I’m an American from Texas! God Bless you Scotland 🏴 and God Bless America!🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🏴
My older brother took me to see the black watch in downtown New Orleans when I was about 10 years old. It has been in my blood ever since. Nothing like it.
Very very proud of my Scottish and Irish ancestry. Although born in the US I feel very akin to Scotland and Ireland. Every time I hear the pipe and drum I feel a part of me calling.
Long live Scotland. Long live Ireland. Keep playing that lovely music!
I've NEVER seen such beautiful people!
My ancestors are from Scotland England Germany and was born in South Africa...traditions are what keeps our Core of Life together...there’s no apologies for who my ancestors are and who I am today...!!!
Being from the US, I take great pride in my heritage! I've never had the chance to visit Scotland, but when I close my eyes and listen to this beautiful music, I can feel a connection. I know many people who don't care for their genealogy, but I'm proud to have the name Carmichael!
The posh clan
Can't wait for this plague to end so I can go over. Middle name is Rutherford
I dont let the fact that I'm not Scottish one bit stop me from enjoying the hell out of this, so badass!
Good music is for us all, no matter our ancestry.
When the Romans were in Britain they had to build a wall to keep out the Scottish !! :D
@@ecologygarden The English rolled over instantly, the Scots scared the fuck out of them :)
I am Scottish and have a love for my homeland which will never be destroyed.
I'm not the bagpipe playing, kilt wearing type, but my heart, soul, mind and body cry out for my people.
I realise the English of hundreds of years ago tried to rid the world of every culture but theirs. And yet, here we all are, around the world, every nation trying to find a voice, be heard and
respected.
The British r.f. have lied and continue to do so.
Perhaps the timing is God made rather than man made.
@@marymillar1677 Us English made some terrible mistakes but having the Scotts as brothers in arms and unity was not one of them.
My dear mother in law (God rest her fierce little Scottish heart) came from Aberdeen. RIP my friend.
Wir waren vor 2 Jahren in Schottland und hatten zwei unvergessliche Wochen Urlaub, wir lieben das Land die Kultur und die Menschen, wir wurden immer positiv aufgenommen obwohl unser Englisch nicht so gut ist und dennoch wurden wir nicht abgewiesen, tolle Menschen tolles Land 😍 toller Whiskey 🥃wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Best regards from Saxony Dresden 😘
🤜🏻🤛🏻 🏴🇩🇪💙
Good to see real culture still alive in the world. God bless Scotland!
@@reklawnomis1596 cry more ya wee fanny.
What makes it "real culture"? Fuck off with your high and mighty supremacy you fuck wit!
Clearly toxic masculinity
@@reklawnomis1596 You appear to have forgotten the all important Scottish Enlightenment
Steve Masters indeed,God bless Schotland,the Scotch and their culture
My Great Grand Parents on My Mother's side came from Glasgow, so when I hear the pips it stirs my blood, with a name like Kenneth Andrew, what more Scottish can you be. Kenneth was a King of Scotland, and Andrew is the patron Saint of Scotland. I love Highland Cathedral and I love the words to it as you never hear much when Pipes and Drums play it.
This was very enjoyable. A foggy brisk morning with the sound of the pipes coming down the mountainside. Very beautiful. God bless !
Love this,there is nothing like it,and am very proud of my families heritage.We are of the McFarland and Robertson clan's.
I grew up on this stuff my great grandfather came from Scotland to Canada and settled there. It still makes my hair stand on end. when I hear the pipes . I belong to the Hannah Clan, My parents came to the USA in the late fourties I was born American before they were naturalized.
As a Scot, the sound and sight of the Pipe Bands stir my heart like nothing else does. I,m so proud of my country, I,ve traveled it from all directions to all directions, It gladdens me to think of visitors from other countries who come to love it as much as I do.
To me, there is nothing, I think, more moving than the skirling of the pipes and the banging of the drums! I was listening, spirit roused and heart filled with feeling ... and then these braw lads & lassies broke into 'Scotland the Brave," and I broke into sobs ....
I'm a big fan of Highland music, but there's something very special about this gathering. Thank you so much for sharing - I shall play it again & again.
Scotland the Brave, so proud of my Scottish Heritage, Greetings from New Zealand ♥️🇳🇿👏👏👏👏
My sincerest thanks from the Blue Ridge of Virginia! My paternal ancestors reach back to St. Tears, Scotland. The clan Robinson, a sect of Clan Gunn. The pipes have always stirred my soul! I hope that one day, I can stand on the ground of my ancestors and talk to my relatives that remained in Scotland!
A short story about bagpipes. My wife and I bought a small plot of land when my son was two. We put a small house on it. One afternoon shortly after moving in, I was mowing the yard and clouds starting moving in. Then I heard the pipes. At first, they were barely audible but after five min, I could hear them clearly over the lawn mower. My wife walked out of the house and asked if I heard them? I asked her, “You heard them too?” She had. I cut the mower off and walked up the road to see if I could tell where the pipes were coming from. We lived in the country and houses weren’t real close. I didn’t walk very far past my property before I couldn’t hear the pipes anymore.
I walked back to my house and as I reached my driveway, I could hear them once more. Then the wind started to pick up. My wife and son were outside listening to the pipes. I looked up and the clouds had turned black and were swirling slowly. I grabbed my wife and son and ran inside. We could hear the pipes over the wind, rain and hail. The storm passed quickly and so did the pipes. We found out that just over the hill where there was a small lake, a tornado had touched down!
I know it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. More incredibly, over the ten years we lived there, three other very bad storms were predated with the pipes. The difference was that the next time I heard them, I made sure the dog, wife and kids were in the house first! We’re in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so we get storms, but we only heard the pipes before the worst.
I asked all my neighbors if they played the pipes but none did. I asked if they played recordings and all said no. I shared my experiences and they all acted like I was crazy, so I didn’t bring it up again. But since moving from that land, I’ve never experienced the warnings again. To this day, we look back at our time there as the best time of our lives. We were truly blessed!
do not delay, if you can find a way to visit do so, you will never be sorry to visit scotland, I will be at crathes castle for my 80 th birthday. that will be my third trip. don burnett fall river mills ca

Much love, respect and admiration greetings NYC, USA! In my past life I must of been a lass from Scotland, I love ❤️ the beautiful sound of the bagpipes, it makes me happy! Thank you!
I spent 2 months in Edinburgh during the Covid 19 lockdown, and this music brings tears to my eyes even though I'm not Scottish. Must be because I felt so welcome in these trying times
Italians always welcome in Scotland 🇮🇹🏴
SO DO I !!! PIPES AND DRUMS SOUND DEEP INTO MY HEART, DON'T KNOW WHY, BECAUSE I'M ITALIAN CELTICS DESCENDANT FROM THE NORTHERN ALPES ANTIQUE ROMAN MILITIA.
Welcome home
I am pleased to see some wee ones scattered throughout this wonderful gathering. It is our duty to instruct the young in who we are and in treasured traditions so they can equally love them, take great pride in their heritage, carry them forth, and preserve them for future generations.
Long live Scotland from Poland! I absolutely love the bagpipes! Respect from Poland❤️
poland and scotland have great connections we love you guys never forget it always welcome here polska :D
I’m Scottish and polish
No idea why this makes me homesick to the point that my heart aches and the tears spill from my eyes. Thank you for sharing this!
Exactly the same for me, I'm homesick for Australia.
I've NEVER seen such beautiful people!
This is relaxing and badass at the same time.
I feel you.

Such beautiful music and rich culture. It makes me want to travel to Scotland and learn more about my Clan Keith ancestry, and experience these awesome pipes and drums for myself!
Veritas vincit
I never knew Scotland was so wonderful .I want to go there .I may never want to come back ,after seeing how these people see each others .
FANTASTIC! There's nothing like the sound of the Pipes and Drums, always brings a tear to my eyes. God bless you all.
I have loved this music since I was a child. Scotland has such wonderful traditions.
Respect for those who arranged such a beautiful gathering of drums and pipes!!!!
There are lots of ladies playing in this wonderful pipe band...Fabulous
Love from Detroit Michigan gives me chills in my Scottish blood.
I am an American and I absolutely love this. I get chills everytime i hear it. Many of our Police and Fire depts have Scottish heritage and have bagpipes and drum corps.
Listen to Highland Cathedral on UA-cam 👍
Bags and drums make my fire burn hottt!!! Especially with this level of excellence. Well done boys!
If listening to the pipes stirs your blood, playing in a band among other bands and counter marching like in this video, multiplies the feeling. I envy the youngsters in this video. Brings back sweet sweet memories of a long time ago.
Growing up in NZ The Scottish Bands Marching uplifted me as A child I was in Love
Fell in love with Scotland. I visited Edinburgh and the highlands last month, after that I justo want to go back and stay there for a couple of years or at least a few months

My grandmother’s maiden name was McLeod, and her grandfather was an immigrant from Loch Lomond, Scotland. My father’s family came to this country from Wales. My mother’s grandfather was from Scotland. My great grandmother’s maiden name was Eastman. I’m very proud to have British ancestry.
Probably .01% Irish American but have always had a love for Scottish pipes. As a kid my dad always painted this picture of a foggy morning on a battlefield... can you imagine hearing such a sound coming your way in that fog? Gives me chills everytime I hear pipes and drums. Keep your heritage alive for the rest of the world... We love it!
Speaking as a person with family ancestors who fought and died along side of William Wallace, I can't listen to drum and pipes like this without my heart overwhelmed, tears of fire flowing out of my eyes and goosebumps all over. Love you Scots!
Grandfather was direct descendant of Wallace's contemporary..
Robert the Bruce..
My ancestor was Wallace's uncle...😁
Damn they knew Mel Gibson?
they didn't exist in Wallace time pipers started to appear hundreds of years later
@@keithmuir5077 aye! well, chances are.. if my ancestors were there in Wallace time, they were there when the pipers showed up, so the power is still felt
Outstanding!!! I love how people of all ages participate! Proud of my partial Scottish heritage!
I get goosebumps every time I hear the pipes......for my son’s 26th birthday had a surprise birthday party and invited ALL his friends and old friends......hired a piper from a Indianapolis and he came down and started in the yard across the road, farther away until he could be heard by everyone and especially my son, who just stood there with the biggest grin on his face, wife at side. Will never forget it!. My son, like me, has always liked the pipes.
My maiden name is McAllister and I lived in Scotland when I was a kid my father served in the United States Navy. I went to Scottish schools (was petrified of the headmaster by the way) and embraced the Scottish culture and I absolutely love it. I so miss the sweetie shops, fish and chips and the little shops where you could buy everything
I've NEVER seen such beautiful people!
Brought tears to my eyes, the beauty of it - fantastic, can only imagine what it would be like to be there!
It was lovely, the sound echoing around the glen.
I love the sound of the bagpipes and drums I never get tired of hearing it.

It is Dec 31, 2019, and I am in my living room listening to 'home'!! I was born in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland where I stayed with my granny. I've been in America since 1962. Last time back was 1997-98 but I could no longer live there. No longer understood the money or the metric system. So I came back here to the coast of Oregon where I have the sea at my back door.
I'm thinking of the times my grandparent and I with an aunt and uncle went to the St /Margarets Ballroom and brought the /Near In and went First Footing on the way home. The world has changed since then and a friend said First Footing is hardly done anymore. Happy New Year and good health in 2020!! And lang mae yer lum reek!!
My maternal grandfather instilled in me a great sense of pride in our Scottish heritage, the Keith clan, along with the sounds of pipes and drums. Two of my favorite hymns often played on pipes, are "Amazing Grace" and the "US Marine Corps Hymn", both I want played at my memorial service by a lone Piper. God bless the Scottish homeland and all Scots around the world!
Never get tired of listening to the pipes....
There can never be anything better than the sounds of the pipes and drums, always gives me goosebumps. Best wishes from a Cockney with a quarter Scots blood running through my veins. 👏
America is my nation, but Scotland is my heritage. I long to go back, as I haven’t visited in over 25 years. The people always treated me with warmth and the whiskey was always smooth.
@SteppenWolff100 Every time I was in Scotland, that's how I was treated.
EVERY time I hear the bag pipes I think of all those that fought and died for our Scotland. A many of a great souls! GOD BLESS OUR
SCOTLAND !
Highland pipes and drums get me every time. Makes the heart pound and the soul soar high. Fabulous.
There is no other sound that compares nor can it. I just cry!💝💝
Oi gatinha linda 😍🤩
Don’t know what it is about bagpipes, but I find them calming and soothing. ❤️
love seeing the number of female pipers and drummers! Makes my little firefighter heart so happy
I can never get over it.... I'm mainly English but am a quarter Scot via my Grandmother on my dads side and it always stirs me to hear the bagpipes ... as it happened my grandfather on dads side was also boarders (reavers of old) so on that side we were a bit of a bad lot siding with whomever it was politic at the time ... my mum was straight north west English ... put is all together though with this music and I go wobbly in the heart... thanks loved it
I love the pipes an drums, I listen to this over an over,it's great. The video is magnificent, the colorful aerial of the drummers an pipers is stunning. I just love the sound, thank you for sharing,
O my god , so beautiful, wanna listen live ,
I am a Cathcart and yes it's in the DNA to love the pipes and the drums. Can't get enough of it. Grandfather (Arthur) brought me up to love them. Hail from Kearny NJ.

Scotland you rock! .... lots of love from Greece.
As a teen was in the pipe band. Practiced all this stuff. The march throughs, and massed bands. Never forget it! Can't do it anymore. Love to watch it, and relive the memories of when I was doing it.
I love pipes & drum's these guys are awesome!!! 💞
Please Scots preserve this prestigious tradition the whole world enjoys it.
Love from Iraq
I love seeing this. So much going on here, and played with so much heart and soul. Rehearsed, timed, and executed in such an awesome fashion. Like a well-oiled machine, these men made this musical experience happen. It hits one in the heart and soul, while leaving you longing for more, even after it ceases being heard. God bless the people of Scotland, and god bless you in your awesome musical talent!!!!
My Grandfather was John Bordar Grandison of Glasgow , Scottland and immegrated to Canada in the 1920s with his brothers and sisters who "sponsored" each other till they all had immigrated. My Uncle Peter Grandison, his brother, became an American citizen and designed golf courses. He married a Southern Belle from Nashville , TN and retired to Bowling Green Kentucky after her death.
My grandfather John was a golf pro at the Birmingham AL Country club, marrying his Southern Bell, Velma . They had four daughters , two were born after THIER move to Toronto, Ontario Canada in the late 1930s.
I listen to the pipes and drums often and remember a visit from Granddadys brother Alexander, Sandy, in the mid 1950s when he played his pipes in our back yard in Hueytown AL outside Birminham.
I have searched for the Grandison Clan and cannot find out origins.
If any one reading can help me find out, I would adore our tartan for my cousins and myself. We honor our Scottish ancestry!Lovely March !
There isn’t a single sound on this planet that moves me more powerfully than massed bagpipes and drums. As an American who has become very in touch with my Scottish Heritage and who has visited my family’s Ancestral Castle in Scotland this sound makes me feel so connected to my ancestors from over 800 years ago. Clan MacLeod, HOLD FAST!💛🖤❤️🖤
If I saw this in person I think I would cry. It’s so moving.
greetings from Turin, i love Scottish bigpipes
Ginevra Crana greetings fae Scotland I have a massive pipe
To march behind the pipes is something else. I have done many times with the Irish Guards. I had the honour of marching from St James' Palace to Chelsea Barracks behind the Scots Guards and the Irish guards pipe bands. We all felt 10 feet tall. Amazing
That is beautyful i am not a SCOTT but i like the people and the pipes and drums. THAN. YOU .
it brought tears and lots of memories to my from my child days..love the bag pipes..
I love that first note... where they start squeezing the bag... The drones start to wail... They all converge and find the first note. It's enough to give ya chills. Then, the drums come in sharp as a knife... Lifting your pulse, setting your foot tapping.
Thank you for a great show and amazing uniforms. Gotta love bagpipes and drums.
My mother was a Robertson, descended from a warrior who stayed in the Netherlands around 1763 (7 years war ). I do not know why, but I feel the connection and love this show.
Welldone, i am even more happy and enjoying after watching and listening those Pipes... Amazing !!
Those are cultural heroes for Scotland PEOPLES... Terrific !
What A fabulous musical instrument ' bagpipe ' scottish peoples have... ! PERFECT !
it is soulfood ...
I’m an American with Polish ancestry but I should’ve been Scottish. Somebody tell me why I love pipes and drums. I can’t avoid smiling from ear to ear and getting goosebumps followed by tears in my eyes
Being a proud ex-pat Scot, I just LOVE the sound of the porridge guns(Bagpipes to the uninitiated)
few centuries ago, when the Slavic Nations were one, from the Baltic to the Aegean they had bag pipes... check it out...
I am Brazilian, I have Portuguese, Jewish and German descent in my family. I am fascinated by the culture of Scotland. Why??
Almost every culture and society round the world has had bagpipes among their musical culture in history. But the Great Highland being played here is unique to Scotland.
I love this so much. I can feel it in my Scottish blood. I hope to someday see something like this in person, I can only image what all that droning in the air must feel like!
I've NEVER seen such beautiful people!
There is a power in this music that I can't explain. Wonderful parade!
I agree, just something in the blood that rings through your body.
I get tingles down my spine when I hear bagpipes sometimes and these are not intended to be asmr videos.
It gives pride and self worth and sense of respect.

The hair on the back of my neck is standing up, I have a lump in my throat and a wee tear in the corner of my eye. I have never been to Scotland, but half my blood is Scottish. My grandfather was a piper from WWI and knocked the local pipe band into shape when he arrived here in NZ.
