Well, actually it was the Picts who caused them to say that. But the Picts wound up intermarrying with the Scots, so the fighting spirit is still there.

Could you imagine the reaction Muslims would have if they marched through parts of France at prayer time. Scotland the great big noise cometh run for your lives, women and children last.
Surrounded by fog, your comrades on the ground dead or badly injured, your only source of light being the moonlight then you suddenly hear Scotland the brave in the distance and rapidly approaching *F E A R*
My late father was in the 7th Army that got decimated by the Germans in El Alamein. Those who survived got orders to lay low & do nothing but wait for the 8th army led by Monty to arrive. So they dug in hiding and waited till they got radioed notice "tomorrow morning the 8th is coming in". Sunrise over the sand dunes and then the weirdest thing they ever saw or heard- in the distance the sounds of drums & bagpipes! The Black Watch, The Highlanders marching bands came over the dunes - pipes drums & claymores - the xxxx Krauts didn't know what in blazes was going on, they probably thought that the British had all gone crazy. But while they were confused - Monty's wise strategy hit them as the RAF's Lancasters, Manchesters, Flying Fortresses, bombed them, then waves of Spitfires & Hurricanes strafed them with artillery following up & the 8th army with the fighting will drive from the pipers & drummers hit what was left of the Krauts. The 2nd battle of Al Alamein was won. The power of the Nazi Army in Africa was broken. The pipers & drummers led it all. My father never forgot that. He often would tell of it.
Imagine it's a foggy dew filled morning. Your standing in line of battle with the other lad's wondering what the day will bring and then you hear this coming toward you unseen. This is why the pipes have been called an instrument of war.
I have a Scottish neighbour and every Sunday at 7am he stands out the front of his house and plays this, as an Australian it is a beauty to hear 👍 SCOTLAND FOREVER
I am an Australian. My dad was Scots born. He watched the Tattoo every year. I never forget the day I entered Scotland via Berwick. Seeing the flags and a feeling I will never forget. Beautiful. So proud of my Robertson heritage.
I'm a Scot and the pipes reach you in a primal, latent way that instils fierce pride, loyalty and resolve. My grandad was a piper in the Blackwatch and he used to play the chanter on Saturday mornings. On his 80th birthday, we asked the regiment if piper could attend. They decilned, but they said one could be released for the weekend to 'serve'. Made the old piper's day.
@@reginachenevey8766 Hey! My ancestor saved yours! My ancestor saw King Robert fall off his horse, so he (my ancestor) grabbed the King by the leg and pulled him onto his own horse. It's good to meet you! Clan Armstrong, BTW.
1400 folks playing the pipes and drums! That's impressive! If you hear this, you better pray they're on their side! If not, God help you! Scotland the brave is one of the greatest songs ever created and played! Amazing track! Ty for posting this masterpiece! Roddy Piper would be proud!
A Texan since '63. With deep Scottish roots. Give me Scotland the Brave over The Yellow Rose of Texas any day. A thousand times I've heard it and I still cry like a babe. So so proud.
I am a Miller from Australia. My grandfather on my father's side was a Miller and my grandfather on my mother's side was a Campbell. Both grandmothers were scots as well so I guess Scotland is in my blood. As I approach my 70th year I have a strong yearning to visit the land of my forefathers. Our family mottos is "Manent optima coelo" which translates as "The best things await us in heaven".
I believe the Germans in WW2 called the Scottish Soldiers the "Hell Bringers in Skirts"... They did NOT like to tangle with even the British units that had Pipers and Drums wailing away!
It was during WW1 that the Cameron Highlanders were given the Name "Kilted Ladies from Hell" ,also there were no Drums ,- - - just the Great Highland Bagpipe
@Rosida Andriyana he probably is, luckily not all of us 'merican' are like that. Did the USA save the day, yes, were we also hella late to the show.. . Um yeaa. So yea better late then never but, if know your history you know its, it's nothing worth bragging that hard about.
My Grandad was in WW1, in the Sherwood Foresters, but he said when they heard the skirl of the pipes from the Scottish regiments it always inspired...and terrifed the enemy.
Im Cornish born and bred, some ancestors were Welsh. It makes me so proud to be a CELT even though I'm not Scottish. The Scots are the loveliest people on earth in my opinion. Every time i have visited to see family , i have found every one can spend the time of day to say hello or give directions. I love them all. Bless them.
My ancestors were Scottish, and many of them came over to America in the late 18th century. Even though I’m American, I will always be proud of my Scottish heritage. Long live Scotland!
I'm an American of Scottish ancestry and no matter where I am if I hear bagpipes I'm instantly searching them out and moving closer if I can. I think it's in my DNA.
@@jimmyboynottknown7713 Question, do you know what ancestry and/or DNA means? If so then you should understand that most of the people in America came from somewhere overseas or neighboring countries. What’s even more of a “shocker” is that a majority of us came from somewhere in the UK I know you will argue with this comment for no apparent reason because that’s how UA-cam works, but try to understand people such as myself and @Brian Caldwell up there are proud to have Scottish ancestry and Scottish DNA.

As an Englishman with Scottish roots and first of all British this makes me so proud when i hear it with my chest stuck out and a sense of honour and pride.
I grew up in a wee Scottish town that back then had one og the biggest Scottish games hundreds of bands came from all over the world to compete. At the end of the weekend they would all get on the feild like this and play together. It was so load and no words can describe the feeling. Amazing memorys. Scotland will always be my home my heart. And my ashes will be laid there.

I am an American who is half Scottish and so proud. I visited Scotland a few years ago. I love to imagine how much strength and bravery I would feel going into battle with these drummers and pipers. Absolutely thrilling! (The other half of me is Swede.)
the way it feels being near them is incredible. if u havent heard a group do this live... gotta add it to your bucket list. get as close as possible. feel it through your whole body. so awesome
Maxville is one of the great Canadian events to witness this spectacle. Seeing and hearing these wonderful bands come over the hill playing this triumphant tune brought shivers down my spine being there. Not too br missed.
All the very best to you. I have lived in Hamilton, Scotland all my life. And I am nearly 80. Seen a lot of changes, but I would not swap it for the world. My dad and grandad were pipers with the Blackwatch. Together, they went to war, and God willing, both came home again. As a child, and growing up, I listened to their stories, most when they had a dram or two.
Whether you're English, American, Japanese, French, Australian, Indian or even Scottish. Everybody loves the pipes and drums and I bet there's not many that don't know the tune Scotland the brave! Superb.
When I've gone to Maxville and it was time for massed bands, I've always got right beside a post at the entrance to the field. All the bands march by one or two feet away, and the body does get to vibrating. Great feeling.
Brings back fond memories growing up in Oban argyle following the pipe band as they marched, been in Canada for 22 years next best place to Scotland , pipes make my hair stand up
This stir every heroic instict you may have! Im just in tears reading the stories. Scotts have been so brave ... if you were the enemy, I would be scared to death. Scotland the Brave, then and always!
I’m part Scottish and I tell you every time I hear this, it makes me shed a tear of honor and proudness. Even though I am also part of a few others but I like Scottish better
We were once told as choir members that a choir should sound like a single voice. When you listen to these 400 skilled pipers, you hear only one voice and what a stirring and memorable voice it is.

ah massed bands .its a bloody thrill and the sound actually goes right through you.when you turn for the countermarch the shrill of the pipes sets up an incredible vibration. largest Ii ever did was 43 pipebands at 1993 transtasman nationals here in CHCH NZ.ex bass/tenor drummer married into a family of kilties -BIL-piper FIL bass/tenor drummer ,wife tenor drummer /piper mother in law custodian and dresser -gawd shed put the bloody fear up an RSM with one of her uniform inspections if ya touched anything once shed set it the sound of a hiss in your ear left you in no doubt where you stood!

Whether you're English, American, Japanese, French, Australian, Indian or even Scottish. Everybody loves the pipes and drums and I bet there's not many that don't know the tune Scotland the brave! Superb.
When I've gone to Maxville and it was time for massed bands, I've always got right beside a post at the entrance to the field. All the bands march by one or two feet away, and the body does get to vibrating. Great feeling.
Brings back fond memories growing up in Oban argyle following the pipe band as they marched, been in Canada for 22 years next best place to Scotland , pipes make my hair stand up
Oban was one of the most beautiful places I v ever seen
It makes me immensely proud to be Scottish that does. Love this tune!
Just lovely to watch
Those are LEGENDARY Scottish musical instrument !
I am English with Scots ancestry and this brings back memories. Love Scotland. Strange hearing this in 2020
My mother was a McDougall and pipes get me going every time.
The best sight and sound in the world!
This stir every heroic instict you may have! Im just in tears reading the stories. Scotts have been so brave ... if you were the enemy, I would be scared to death. Scotland the Brave, then and always!
Absolutely stunning in such numbers. My Scots/Irish granny would love this.
This brave‘s sound is a lullaby of my soul, and a cradle of my soul
No tune like Scotland's tune to set me wailing! I miss you! We will meet again.
I’m part Scottish and I tell you every time I hear this, it makes me shed a tear of honor and proudness. Even though I am also part of a few others but I like Scottish better
Listen to Bulgarian kaba gaida. Or 100 kaba gajdi. We have them too :)
when your fighting a war and suddenly you hear bagpipes getting closer and they're not for your side? fucking run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Daniel Newton You should watch Sir Billy Connolly's wee afgan joke
Don't bring bagpipes to a gun fight.
Dilbert Doe We bring both and swords. ALWAYS
Dilbert Doe you ever seen ww1
Try WW2, Mad Jack Churchill
We were once told as choir members that a choir should sound like a single voice. When you listen to these 400 skilled pipers, you hear only one voice and what a stirring and memorable voice it is.
God bless Scotland. Love from your Scots-American brother. 🏴❤️🇺🇸
Having Scottish ancestry, and living in utah, born and raised. It makes me feel like Scotland is my second home.
There is an old saying "You can take the Scotsman out of Scotland - - But you can never take Scotland out of the Man " You may be the proof !!!

Chief: "There's no need. They'll run before we can touch them."
Scotland forever, greetings from austria
God bless Scotland, and William Wallace, all the way from the USA!!!!!!!!!!:)
I bet Waterloo, was madness, with bands of every stripe and colour, as well cannonfire. A clash of tens of thousands. Never to be repeated.
This is the sort of thing that you can feel in your bones when heard live
Such a beautiful sight and sound, . . .brings tears to your eyes
i hope canada is proud of its heritage because believe it or not we all remember your heros who gave their lives fighting in a war that wasn't yours , much respect from a scot .
I sure as hell am !
Louis Clark - me also
As a Canadian with Scottish blood, I like this a lot.
When you just want to shout from the top of your lungs "SCOTLAND!!"

It brings a tear to my eye, just seeing what wonderful things we humans can do. And I'm not even Scottish.
