I’m a scouser and a proud Englishman and I love our Scottish brothers and sisters, some of the finest most generous people I know. The UK would no longer be United without them.
Nice Tradition
We did control England up until King Billy
I'm a geordie and I love a pipe band
I am Polish, but my heart belongs to Scotland. I wrote so because it is true. I'm 53 years old. 35 I lived on the islands. so I think I belong to U.K. ALWAYS when I hear bagpipes and a Scottish regiment march I cry. Because I served in the best army in the world. God Save the Queen. there is only one queen . greetings to all.
Bless you Dariusz... So glad ur heart belongs to Scotland 🙂
Proud of the fact that my fiancé is marching!! 💛
Sarah Quinn I hope he's not one of the troops at around the 2:16 mark and a few after several seconds later
Joel St John he’s around the 2.26 mark 💛 he doesn’t get cut off
Congrats to both of you!
a lucky lass indeed!
Spoken like a true Scots Lassie !
Scotland in my heart forever...You do not need to be from there to cherish the tradition, the fierceness of the Scots, brave and true. Always in tears when I see them marching with their bagpipes...One day I'll be there..that's my dream!
Makes my spine tingle
Same...goosebumps i'm Italian and i love and admire Scottish people
Ese es también mi sueño🙏🌟🥰🥰
As they say, you may not live in Scotland but Scotland lives in you.
Alba gu bràth.🏴❤️
@@ranger_forever1206 Gracias por responder. Es posible que si viva en mi. Mi forma de ser, se identifica plenamente, incluso el clima😊
Wow the pipes and drum are excellent sounding professional tuned with no missed notes or double tuning or winning of the drones .
I think the US could learn a thing or two about welcoming our boys back as heroes. Much respect from an Irish American! All of you lads across the UK will always be my brothers and sisters 👍🏻❤️
I think difference between US and British our infrantry regiments are tied to areas regions and counties. Like you would have say New Englands regiments or Alabama units they all try to enlist local people which makes them tight bunch
One thing about Royal Armed Forces is they do put on a fine military parade. I also like how they march back into quarters returning from deployment. Unfortunately in the US military parades are offensive.
Lol
Yeah, if I'm correct they usually play the Black Bear when marching back to their barrack. Absolutely love that tune on the bagpipe.
How is it offensive though? That's literally military, who protects country.. people are weird.
There is nobody - no-one who knows what it feels like to be a Scot, apart from another Scot - so so proud of my nation and my nationality - tough, enduring and loyal. I so love being Scottish. Proudest and toughest nation in the world - well done boys
You forgot smartest most philosophical,wild ,enticing gorgeous women and men,...MEN! friendly,hospitable,caring,musical,......possesing the greatest,best traits of mankind......AND capable of the most violent destruction of any enemy that threatens those virtues!
In August 2019 I learned that on my mom's side, we have Scottish ancestors that go back to the 1200' s. My mom's family never knew that. They thought we were strictly Finnish. Now I know why I have always been so fascinated with Scotland. My ancestors were from the western Highlands. When some left Scotland, they left for Sweden, Ireland, Austrailia and New Zealand. Years later some moved on and ended up in Finland. When I was a kid, I saw the movie Brigadoon. I loved the bagpipes and kilts. Still do. Aye. I moved to North Carolina from Florida ( I am moving back to Florida ). I discovered the city I live in was founded by the Scots. 💖 I was meant to be a little Scottish.
These are british soldiers, not scots. Scotland had no military.
@@rmac8378 so ur saying that the equipment they use defines the military not the nationality of the people who serve in it? And the majority of people there are representing the previous scottish military before the uk when scotland had its own military
@@Gouldarr actually there was a poll run in the regiments that are Scottish. The majority would want to stay in rUK army not the New Scottish Army. Not also that but most Scots in the army identified as British. They are representing the UK
My grandfather came from the Highlands, so they're always in my heart
The pipes always bring tears. It's in my blood.
M VINCE Turner me too
I suppose you voted NO in 2014
Bloody Government cuts, can't afford proper jeeps!
Me too
I voted yes
as a german who is spoiled by Preussens Gloria....cudos to all the british brothers in arms coming home getting their honor with a terrific march second to none.
Preußens Gloria. I like the ß in preußens
Preußens Gloria is the best ever. Nothing can beat it.
The Scottish soldiers simply look the best and help to make the United Kingdom the strongest and most respected army in the world. You also can't beat the sound of their shoes marching on the old cobbled streets of Aberdeen. As an Englishman, I am so proud to still be part of this Union.
The peoples of all nations should be as proud as you Scots over your traditions, your military feats, the Scottish Spirit - among others, the Swedes could learn from Scottish Pride.
Sven Hartvig and the British.
Pity they couldn't vote for themselves in 2014.
@@jackaiijohnson6908 Uhm Marche are like this all over the UK, The UK is one of the best when it comes to parades.
@@andrewbrand2433 Scottish born voters voted for independence, british immigrants to scotland didn’t
@@rmac8378 oh look who it is, the obsessed taig who forgot to leave
Ah this stirs the old heart ! My grandfather, great uncle, father , uncle, three brothers and myself fought-and some died-in Highland regiments ; Black Watch, Camerons, Seaforths, and after amalgamation in 1961, The Queen’s Own Highlanders
They are missing the flag. Come get her, we're taking care of you. Greetings from Argentina
What do I need to do to become a proud member of that Scottish Guard. May God protect Scotland and Croatia !!!
be UK or Commonwealth citizen
As a mexican I am proud to be scottish. SCOTLAND FOREVER
YO TAMBIEN SOY SCOTTISH
Absolutely great that they brought some guys through in modern combat gear as well, I think that's a nice touch
I love Scottland. Such a proud nation! Greetings from Germany!
These are british soldiers, not scots. Scotland had no military.
@@rmac8378 thanks for the Info
@@manuelsteiner9480 no bother man 🏴🤝🇩🇪
@@rmac8378 Most of this March is Scots coming home to their home
area, Aye there will be English tae, It's been like that for Century's.
Amo a Escocia,su geografía,su historia y tradiciones. Gracias por compartir este video. Saludos desde Buenos Aires 👏💝
@@rodrigoaguilar2913 gracias por tus hermosas palabras,para mi ciudad y para mi persona
Esta claro que lo que no amas y además desconoces es tu historia... cuando lo hagas te avergonzaras de tu comentario, sino te avergüenzas de tu apellido... que también podria ser. Hoy en dia hay de todo jajaja. Disfrutalo im***** seguramente lo pago tu bisabuelo...
Una pista, buenos aires 1806. Empieza a buscar por hay que te veo mas perdida... jajajajaj
Welcome home to all the regiments it's nice to have you all home welcome home once again
Lovely the kilties marching to pipes & drums, followed by other soldiers with military equipment too....but feel sad so few citizens of the Granite City turned out to welcome them home after everything they did for us
Bei uns in Deutschland gibt es sowas leider überhaupt nicht. Schon gar nicht klatschenden Zuschauern
Excellent video here. Great to watching. Just love Bonny Scotland an all that it stands for. 🌟💯🌟
May the pipes & the drums.., the Scottish force
Forever live.
Mexico
Now this, this does bring a smile to my face🏴
Hey William, my ancestors did some dishonourable things to yours. Clan Graham here in NH, USA. Look at movies Rob Roy and Braveheart to see what I mean.
Proud to be a Scot loved the pipes loved everyone involved God bless Jim O Donnell Scotland forever
Goodonyou Jim! Australian born but fiercely proud of my Scottish heritage.
James Fife me too
@@dianacasey6002 👍x
James Fife I am actually Scottish born Australian and will always love my heritage and the pipe bands. My Dad was a drum major in Scotland marched down the royal mile all 5ft of him😊
@@dianacasey6002 Bless him Diana. Small in stature but big in heart and Scottish feistiness no doubt!
How do you do this? I' ve asked this so often but I will never understand the beauty, the discipline nor the regimentation of
this amazing display.
Thank you that we (except my cat) can be part of it.
Thank your soldiers for us.
Love from 🇺🇸.
Ayyye I knew there would be another fellow American in the comments!!! I wasn't the only one curious about the Scottish military it seems
I tell you what, if I was on a battle field and this was the opposition enemy and they approached the war field like this..... I'd just surrender.... no problem no questions asked! LOL. I can watch the massed pipes and drums for hours! Like someone else commented on another video I watched, this music is not just for the Scots, it is also Scotland's gift to the world. With love from Cape Town, South Africa♥
Scotland the Brave, Heiland Laddie and The Black Bear... all the tunes of glory
Bless you one and all you brave hearted souls.
Hello from Athens
Long life to Scotland......
Gentlemen - the Tartan!
Here's to it!
The fighting sheen of it,
The yellow, the green of it,
The white, the blue of it,
The swing, the hue of it,
The dark, the red of it,
Every thread of it!
The fair have sighed for it,
The brave have died for it,
Foemen sought for it,
Heroes fought for it,
Honour the name of it,
Drink to the fame of it -
THE TARTAN!
@Worzal Gummidge I got it from a book on Scottish clans and tartans. 1968, I think. It is a poem by Murdoch MacLean. So, 12 or 13 years old. I'm 66 now.
@Worzal Gummidge I did a Google search. It is, " The Clans and Tartans of Scotland", by Robert Bain. I have an old cloth-bound copy from the 1950's. Got it in '67 or '68. Copies are easily available online.
This brought tears. Never had seen this poem before. Clan Graham appreciates it.
Amazing parade. Wish always to visit Scotland soon. Greetings from Arcadia south Greece
Excellent sight and sound! Many thanks.
Scotland the Brave
Robert Wilson
Hark when the night is falling
Hear! hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down through the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits
Of the old Highland men.
Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards, Gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining rivers,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,…
Oh wow! Just oh 👏
Bless ypu lads...from America
Damn proud to hear those pipes puts a chill down my spine each time i see and hear em. Long live Her Majesty and God save her
@Talorc MacAllan me
RESPECT to Scotland!
I remember this I loved it! Respect to the soldiers
Has a proud Welsh man i just love the scots well done lads be proud of yourself....
Hello l lovely marching lovely music. My name Isabell Hargreaves my history of was great grandmother came from Scotland had something Peebles Castle they even had best regmant in world they may even had gurdman . Xx Hargreaves have coat arms. Take care God bless beautiful uniform.
Welcome home! What an excellent band to bring you in.
Great to see the Highlanders marching behind the Pipes & Drums, one small criticism, the Pipe Major should have shortened his step slightly as he was getting too far ahead of the Pipers. As a Piper myself I know how tiring it is to be marching fast and concentrating on your playing, apart from that well done.
Respect tks for your service god bless
❤ 😍 from ex British army reservist god bless Britain 🇬🇧 🙏 ♥ 💜 ❤ 🙌 🇬🇧 🙏 ♥ 💜 ❤ 🙌 🇬🇧
Wonderful
Respect from Germany ❤️🙏
They started to lose the Step...As an Ex soldier its very easy to do , as you march to the beat of the base Drum, it Echo's of buildings giving you about 5 or 6 different beats , thats why the step is called out...so no probs there...well done troops...
I know what mean been there myself. I wonder why they could not have placed drummer in the centre to beat time?
Henry Jurkiewicz Because traditionally the band always marches in the very front. And if you place the bass drum between the guard and the band the musicians will fuck up when it’s their turn to not hear the beat clearly so the bass drummer needs to be always with the band. The band was in fact playing nothing but regimental duty tunes so regardless of the drum beat the troops should in theory be able to recognize the tunes and march to the beat. The simple solution or trick is not to place the guard so far behind the band as in the case of this video so those in the guard can at least see the pace of the band.
absolutely impecable marching
Nothing much better, than these Highland Regiments coming home,,,
Thank you!
Sarei l,uomo più felice del mondo se vedessi un tale spettacolo nella mia citta',SALERNO.
Amazing. Wonderful. Kind regards from Germany.
in deutschland undenkbar. auf der insel ist man halt stolz auf seine soldaten/soldatinnen!!!
unthinkable in Germany. on the island one is just proud of his soldiers / soldier !!!
This wonderful
From 🇨🇦love this song Devils Brigade
This is like Chilean military parade and one of our independence hero were a Scottish man Lord Thomas Cochrane.
Interesante, voy a investigar sobre eso. Saludos desde México.
And our country father was Irish
My respect from Chile
When you hear the pipes, either help or trouble is on the way.
Gordon’s always March fastest my grandad? 39-45. Told me next best was Black Watch
That is what I call march !
The March pace when the bars first open again
Love the Blackwatch Uniforms!
URIAH HELSINGER it is not a Black Watch uniform
It’s the highland regiment uniform
That pony was so Cute
Wait until in pulls out a Brown Bess and black powders a annoying tourist
Dominicans love people from Scotland ,They are so brave.
The guys who were giving the highfives.. jeez I want to see the guards have a homecoming and do that XD
Goddamn,Im proud to be an American...
but prouder to feel the Scot/Irish MacPherson ancestral blood flow thru my veins !!!
Increíblemente intimidante los Highlanders, duramente pudimos contra ellos en 1806 y 1807 cuando nos invadieron.
The blood going in for the high five at 3:30 truly put a smile on my face
BRILLIANT...
the coolest uniforms EVER.
if your a cross dresser perhaps .
Reklaw Nomis Say that here and you’d get your head kicked in.
@@reklawnomis1596 is typical highland dress u dumbass. When the prince of wales goes to scotland he uses a kilt too
@Talorc MacAllan I mean I dress because I don't want to be naked
@@haggisandwhisky7203 Aye! Sign up this American for a head shot at 'em too!
Unfortunately, in America, a battalion returns to a parking lot, and although our families are there, the general community has no clue, ever.
Why is that? I don't understand why that would be so. Is it that regiments in your country are not regionally based or are they? Or identified by area/region/State? Or is it something else?
@@mushypeasplease8872 The reason why is because when the President suggested that we give our troops homecoming parades, people called him an evil dictator
In the US, Regular Army units are recruited from everywhere, and their home bases usually have ceremonies. The Guard and Reserve units, though, that ARE tied to specific States and areas, are on their own, and in the age of "Forever-war" there are few parades anymore.
Cadet Bonespurs doesn't seem to realize it, but the country is tired of fighting wars that only seem to help Russia and China, while our veterans get less and less care, and the suicide rates continue to rise. 8-(
I get my fix from the people who DO appreciate their military. I answer "Thank you for your service"(delivered here in the states in an obligatory monotone) with "thank YOU for your cervix"
@@jaluck 22 a day NO WAY! we need help.
Scotlands proud and honor...
It makes me proud to be Scottish
Fantastic. Can't believe you made the guys on biff chits bring up the rear! lol
very beautifully
wow its amazing!
It's good to know you don't have to be Scot by blood just to be part of this.
At least that's what I remember.
Não sou escocês, mas gosto muito de ouvir esse som,moro no Brasil
what can you say top notch.WELL DONE
very impressive!
God bless you lads and lassies.
No other regiment has the swagger of the Scots
Amazing!
And this is what a regiment of infantry is supposed to sound and look like. .
Bloody hell what was the rush? I thought the HLI were part of the 2nd Battalion!
Alle Achtung !Mein Respekt !
Really hoping to do some Post-Grad studies in Aberdeen. Looks like such a beautiful city.
Hi Chad, a great City with lots happening and some great festivals through the year.
Trust me it’s not
Don't it's a shitehole!
Aberdeen is lovely - has its bad parts, just like any other city - but small compact easy to get around, beautiful granite buildings, interesting museums & art gallery, clean sea air, fresh fish, decent pubs with well kept ale, nice sweetie shops..... but avoid an 'Aberdeen Sweetie' because, in the rest of Scotland, that means a sharp hard tap on the forehead!
Dear Debbie now are you see you on Sunday morning iam am going to my bed tonight now is your boyfriend soon is my birthday is on 4 of December
Soon is christmas is come up
Lots of love your friends
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

SCOTLAND ♥️
muy lindo el pueblo escoces

Scotland My Country ..King of Scotland Eddie
Onore e rispetto!
Have you sped this up in post? That’s more than 116 beats per minute standard matching pace.
the British empire!!!! greetings from México
Great Military, Great Tradition
denmark sweden and norway need you
why were the stewards directing people off the road when theyre actually so far away from the parade itseelf
That's quite a pace...
Well done lads 👍
