Mike G Mike G 0 seconds ago 2022 - reminiscing. I'm a Kiwi. ex military. Best work friend and I bought 2 tickets nearly 1 yr in advance of this Tattoo. We were both traveling (going walkabouts-like). Three days before finale - friend cant make it to Scotland. What to do? Had best seats in entire show. Center 2 seats, 2 rows below royal box with HRH Prince Charles present. On the night I que with me, myself and I. I approach 1 and all with no scalping - just please someone use the ticket! NOT A CHANCE. LIKE I HAD THE POX! 12 m from the entrance I overhear a bunch of locals saying to one of their own " sorry you cant join us but we'll meet you here ..." March up to them, stand to attention, Country, Name, rank, serial number, and reason why i have 2nd best ticket in town. They take a chance, I share enjoyment of a lifetime, they in return offer a lone Kiwi some local hospitality after the show! I'm an Irish Kiwi - God Bless the Scots.
Even English men like me get goose bumps at the sound of the pipes , l'm ex 1st Royal Anglian Regt Corp of Drums, our lads & lasses liked the flutes & Drums , as you the pipes , like all our Regt s they British am us up but , we will never forget our pipers & flute players ,& Drummers , bless them all , men & women keep our service men women safe & their family's ,
Being a proud Scot this brings back memories of living just a 10 minutes, if that from the castle as a child we heard most of the pipes anw the different regiments marching their buses
My grandfather was from Glasgow and he loved the pipes. He never quite lost his accent even well into his 90s. He would have loved this I'm sure. I'm very proud of my Scottish heritage.
My Grandfather also was from Glasgow and Grandmother from Aberdeen; I was around 17 when I could finally understand what he was saying. Our Clan is Leslie. I have been a piper or trying for 62 yrs. and presently to retain our Scottish heritage and legacy, Pipe Major of the Erepa Grotto Pipes and Drums. This has been my favorite Tattoo since that day it occurred. Thank YOU for your post !
Fabulous sound, took my dad to see this which he said was 'magical' & he was ex KOSB & was GC at Edinburgh Castle for 2 years. Very powerful and a moving performance.
Absolutely excellent! I had the honour to meet the Black Watch when I was in the German Air Force at Ramstein Airbase in 1983. Can you imagine what fun it was if a Scot tries to learn a German how to play the bagpipe? At first the loughter was on scottish side, at least on both... Something I never forgot.I´m proud that I had this experiance and that I´ve met these extraordinary soldiers.
@vanth77 I'm not even from Gaelic or Celtic descent, at least not as far as I know. But every time I hear so many bagpipes, I just feel the same way as you. This kind o' tune is soo great for hand-to-hand fighting scene of WW1, WW2, and so on. LONG LIVE BRITAIN !! LONG LIVE SCOTLAAAAAAAND !!
My ancestors where from scottland...my daddy would share some jack and talk about what he knew while we listened to 33 lp's of bagpipes...this is some awesome stuff...I love it !!
Greetings from Turkey! What a spectacular show! I can't imagine this music' effect on soldier in battlefield. TBH id march even into hell with those magnificent marches. What a spirit!!! SALUTE brave sons of Scotland!
Makes this Yank proud of his Scottish heritage. All the way back to County Ayershire and the Dalrymple name. Thanks so much for the thrilling video! Edward Stair-Tennessee USA
Loved this!! I wish I would have had the honor to hear them in person when I went to Scotland...Beautiful place it is I will say that ... Also, Loved the thistle formation...I have gotten a tattoo of the Scottish Thistle because it is such a beautiful flower and it has a great story behind it too :)
+Missy Muffet Thank you for wonderful lovely comments about my country hearing the bagpipes gives me goosebumps and think you getting a thistle tattoo is fantasic where about did you come to scotland from if you dont mind me asking
amen. this is one of scotland's gifts to the world, and i (non-scottish, but admirer) grateful for it! hurrah for the pipes & drums, and thanks for scotland!
I'm an American, and I say Thank God for the Scots! What would we do without them? I have Scottish blood, and I'm so proud of it. What's not to be proud of?
My wife and I have just returned home after attending the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo which celebrated its 60th year this year and it was well worth going,we were lucky to have seats facing the castle and had a perfect view.It was a wonderful experience and can highly recommend it.Massed pipes and drums, you cant beat them although I think the Royal Marine Band comes a very close second.
I always come back to listen to this video when i need reminded of how proud i am to be Scottish. The sound of the mass pipes sends shivers right through my body and makes me feel ultimate proudness.... It's like a rush ! We really are the proudest nation on earth ! Alba gu brath !!! INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND !
Strange that so many comments posted here have little or nothing to do with the wonderful display of these excellent bandsmen. Great post. Love the "Thistle" formation. Thanks for sharing.
always loved the bagpipes, even i am a Yank. they seem so peaceful and powerful at the same time. And wow all those famous regiments... me being a military history lover i know. right on!!!!
Music reflecting strength and essence of life itself ! High time, these people stopped dying for Rothschilds ! And most of the time against Christian fellows !
What a tremendous boost to morale it must have been for the brave souls who landed on the beaches on D-Day; to hear the piper playing behind them! Lest we forget!
Outstanding!! the guys with the drums with the soft err... sticks for want of a better word with the white ends.... do they have strings on the end so they can twirl them?
It is good that they explain who are involved in the procession...I love the pipers and it is good to see all regiments involved from both the UK and NZ.. I love watching this on TV as it is a little too far and too expensive for me to go to Edinburgh but one day I will get there..Tradition is Tradition no matter what country you come from. I'm from European heritage and this is just awesome...
What song is that they play at the end, the one with the KILLER drum solo around 7 - 8 minutes in? AWESOME, if there is a better bagpipe video on youtube lemme know, so far this takes the cake!
Can anyone tell me what the opening March music is called???????? the whole piece is fantastic, but I find the opening march brilliant, and think it would strike fear into any enemy listening to it get louder as the opposing army grew nearer. God bless ALL our armed forces fighting for the stability of this OUR United Kingdom & British Commonwealth!
"Woow this is so powerful performance. One question though this piper instrument where is this from originally? From every corner of UK people use this in all kinds of events is it scottish or irish or english or welsh?" Egypt. Brooklyn Rules!
The name of the tune, as the announcer says, is literally "The Edinburgh Military Tattoo", composed by Major Gavin Stoddart, MBE, BEM, Senior Pipe Major of the British Army, now retired. It is played from the start to approximately 2:45, after which it segues into a medley of Hot Punch, The Bugle Horn and Bonny Dundee
The Moment i hear the Pipes, every single Inch of my Skin gets Goosebumps . This is so great ! Im from Germany, but i feel like i had a Life before this 1 and it must have been in Scottland. This Music touches me really deep inside, every single Time i hear it .
@memmotronic1 For your information, the narrator is Tom Fleming, a Scottish actor born and bred in Edinburgh. He narrated for the Tattoo for about 40 years up until 2008.
@ryans77 you are right about the effect of the pipes. During WW1 the scottish troops were known as the "ladies from hell" (reference to the kilt) by the Germans.
quick question could anyone tell me what song they were playing when they came out. im a drum major and want my band to play that song its really catchy
I am english and i would march into battle anywhere with that band and music ringing in my ears ! makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end thank you for posting !
@passie29 actually it was that a British officer asked for volunteer's to be parachuted from a plane into Normandy i think, half the group of Gurkha's stepped forward, the other half complained because there wasn't enough parachutes for all of them to go :) now thats Gurkha's for ya!
I was a performer on that tattoo. Was the best ever!!!!!!!!

det er det mest imponerende jeg nogensinde har set og hørt. der er intet militær instrument der slår sækkepiber og trommer.
det er bestemt det fedeste jeg nogen sinde har set.

They broadcast the Tattoo in Australia every year around Xmas time. I for one never tire of watching it.

No Music and Instrument is so kind of military like the pipe and drums.
I really like it.
i love British military tradition.
Keep it up!

I am not Scottish but have recently found out that my maternal great-grand parents were from Edinburgh and am chuffed to bits! :D
We used to have Tattoos here in Ontario, Canada at the CNE in Toronto. Why oh why can't they come back. This is simply majestic and soul-stirring.
irrespective where we all come from so long as we all enjoy this magnificent performance,
Best footage yet of the Tattoo. Thanks for this post.
I love this kind of music
¡que daría por estar allí y sentir esa música!
hermoso, sublime
un abrazo desde argentina buenos aires
The Scottish Regiments Pipes and Drums,and the Ghurkas Pipes and Drums.Any band playing amongst that are very lucky indeed.
amen. this is one of scotland's gifts to the world, and i (non-scottish, but admirer) grateful for it! hurrah for the pipes & drums, and thanks for scotland!
I'm an American, and I say Thank God for the Scots! What would we do without them? I have Scottish blood, and I'm so proud of it. What's not to be proud of?
DAMN YOU SCOTS, AND YOUR AMAZING INSTRUMENT!!!!!! Bagpipes have got to be THE sweetest sounding instrument ever made!
I LIKE THIS KIND OF MUSIC BEAUTIFUL. IWAS IN SCOTLAND AND SAW THE ROYAL MILITARY EDINBURGH TATTOO

SCOTLAND FOR EVER!
This is ART!
I am now Dutch but in my past Life I was a Scot!
I Salute you all brothers.
Wow! I have loved the sound of bagpipes all my life; what a thrill! Would love one day to be there when they do this!
I have played on 9 of these. fantastic. the best job in the World!
First tune is called 'Hot Punch' then goes into 'Bonnie Dundee' I'm sure.
And the scottish voice of the late Tom Fleming who commentated on numerous Edinburgh Tattoos. You are greatly missed.
Something else, too… they can fight.
So much memories I was there that year it was my 4th tattoo miss you papa I shared them all with you
Music reflecting strength and essence of life itself !
High time, these people stopped dying for Rothschilds !
And most of the time against Christian fellows !
I had the opportunity to watch live one of the Military Tattoo. Unforgettable moment.
Q: What does a Scotsman say to someone who says "Nice skirt"?
A: Nice bloody nose!
What a tremendous boost to morale it must have been for the brave souls who landed on the beaches on D-Day; to hear the piper playing behind them! Lest we forget!
I wish the commentator would BE QUIET.
Comic Book Guy You don’t tell Tom Fleming to be quiet, he is the voice of the Edinburgh tattoo.
THis was an Awesome Presentation; i was there in person when stationed in London, UK back in 1990 to 1992
I got to see this years tattoo.The whole spectacle is hard to beat, what a great show.
A long and impressive Scottish tradition... magnificent display.
Outstanding!!
the guys with the drums with the soft err... sticks for want of a better word with the white ends.... do they have strings on the end so they can twirl them?
Bien por esa banda saludos desde México
It is good that they explain who are involved in the procession...I love the pipers and it is good to see all regiments involved from both the UK and NZ.. I love watching this on TV as it is a little too far and too expensive for me to go to Edinburgh but one day I will get there..Tradition is Tradition no matter what country you come from. I'm from European heritage and this is just awesome...
as an x guardsman and scot i salute your applause for the spit and polish,spent years perfecting it and can still do it today its an art
Excuse me but what is the first song that the pipers do before they do the song itchy fingers ????????
amazing alot of childhood memories in the Edinburgh tattoo :') i'm English but i'm British first and by god does this make me proud
That little Ghurka pipe major is dwarfed by the others! Fantastic video, thanks for adding.
The 42nd royal highlanders "Blackwatch" Long live forever!
What song is that they play at the end, the one with the KILLER drum solo around 7 - 8 minutes in? AWESOME, if there is a better bagpipe video on youtube lemme know, so far this takes the cake!
I dislike that someone actually don`t like this.
This is absolutely fantastic, a band of brothers :)
GREAT!!
When this event is ?
please ask me, I Would like to travel to Scotland to see it.
thank you very much
Can anyone tell me what the opening March music is called???????? the whole piece is fantastic, but I find the opening march brilliant, and think it would strike fear into any enemy listening to it get louder as the opposing army grew nearer. God bless ALL our armed forces fighting for the stability of this OUR United Kingdom & British Commonwealth!
the best video I've seen in all ages awesome
"Woow this is so powerful performance. One question though this piper instrument where is this from originally? From every corner of UK people use this in all kinds of events is it scottish or irish or english or welsh?"
Egypt. Brooklyn Rules!
why don't you just listen and watch? The finest music in the world. Scot or not, you should be proud!
Okay everyone. what is the strathsbey called when he says the name of it 5:53, and then it is played at 7:13 ? thank you very much in advance.
44 missed the like button :(
juanenzina Thanks for uploading this
I am half scottish and i LOVE THIS SONG
What is the title of the tune they play from beginning of the video untill the 4:32 of the video ? Thank you in advance for your answer.
The name of the tune, as the announcer says, is literally "The Edinburgh Military Tattoo", composed by Major Gavin Stoddart, MBE, BEM, Senior Pipe Major of the British Army, now retired.
It is played from the start to approximately 2:45, after which it segues into a medley of Hot Punch, The Bugle Horn and Bonny Dundee
Love it!!! This is music to my ears speaking from Manitoba Canada!!
Great ,love this kind of music......
greets from Germany ....lower saxony .....
Listen to those drums when they do the tune round abound!!!!! so powerful!!!
Love the first song. Would love to have it played at my funeral.
He is Tom Fleming the voice of the tattoo, been involved for decades, if you go to the tattoo himself his voice is a familair host at the event
Edinburgh has and always will have the best military tattoo anywhere and everywhere. Alba Gu Brath!
The Moment i hear the Pipes, every single Inch of my Skin gets Goosebumps .
This is so great !
Im from Germany, but i feel like i had a Life before this 1
and it must have been in Scottland.
This Music touches me really deep inside, every single Time i hear it .
Mael Querre the first song is called The Edinburgh military Tattoo they nearly always come out to that when doing the tattoo
Is this parade regular? Once in a year? If yes when? Must see:-)
Amazing!
Best wishes and greetings to Scottish people from Armenia.
I love the Ediburgh Military Tattoo :) Its really enjoyable, I watch it every year. The skill of these guys are amazing, kudos to them
Is there a DVD/CD for this Tattoo on sale?
i love bagpipes so much and also the drums well done on this event.
@memmotronic1 For your information, the narrator is Tom Fleming, a Scottish actor born and bred in Edinburgh. He narrated for the Tattoo for about 40 years up until 2008.
@ryans77 you are right about the effect of the pipes. During WW1 the scottish troops were known as the "ladies from hell" (reference to the kilt) by the Germans.
Well done Davin Stoddard! A perfect perfect video.
quick question could anyone tell me what song they were playing when they came out. im a drum major and want my band to play that song its really catchy
It's called The Edinburgh Military tattoo and was written for the event (not sure when though!) :)
There is nothing so stirring as great military bagpipe music and a gathering such as this.
It is called the Black Bear it is a tune for return to barracks, which is why many Scottish military tattoos end with it.
He been to one of those the sound of the massed band make me proud to be Scottish
I am english and i would march into battle anywhere with that band and music ringing in my ears !
makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end thank you for posting !
I live right next to Edinburgh Castle, I get to listen to this every night during the Tattoo :3
@passie29 actually it was that a British officer asked for volunteer's to be parachuted from a plane into Normandy i think, half the group of Gurkha's stepped forward, the other half complained because there wasn't enough parachutes for all of them to go :) now thats Gurkha's for ya!
@harlita the Brits owned alot of land and well parts of Asia were in possession and South pacific areas as well
