When asked the question - "Why do Scots play the bagpipes on the way into battle?" the reply normally given "so the enemy knows who is coming and how long they have left to live...!"
When its your first time in Scotland you're not prepared how Edinburgh blows you away, driving through the little villages stunning. In the city. OMG just beautiful. It was very weird as soon as you see the welcome to Scotland sign. It was a massive syi of being home. , Scotland you are the best, proud to be Scottish decendant . Awe the mascot just gorgeous, those bagpipes get me everytime... amazing.
I am in the Normandy plain following the route of my Dad with the 51st Highland Division into Germany. Listening the pipes and drums back home feels so right on this anniversary of D Day. Thank you for posting
J 'adore regarder et surtout écouter cette parade ça m'hypnotise et on voit que les Anglais sont fiers de leur coutumes, j'aimerais tellement aller visiter ce beau pays un jour !❤
PIPE DRUMS IS IN OUR BLOOD,PIPE DRUMS IS CENTURIES OF LOVED FAMILY. Try NOT Listening for a week or So. Then Start Up PIPE DRUMS AND BE RENEWED LIKE NEVER BEFORE.NO SOUND COMES ANYWHERE CLOSE TO OUR PIPE DRUMS.GOD BLESS
Astounding! Jim this is your best video yet! What would the British Army be without the Scots? The tunes are extraordinary. How about a playlist when you have the time!
@@gtuneit Well as a Yank who knows nothing at all about British culture perhaps could YOU tell me the tunes (same or not) that Jim captured. It would be much appreciated. I have no shame in asking this but I was very impressed with such a uniquely British experience. I found it fabulous!
I love Scotland and I hope to visit it again! Several years ago I was at Paisley where a chemical facility owned by Ciba to learn how pigments were made
Nice vid. I sometimes wonder, as a musician myself who can't even read music, why the bagpipers don't need a sheet in front of their nose with the music on it, but some of the 'brass' players do.
What clan tartan is worn that is blue and green? Clan Graham of Montrose asking, it resembles ours. Great parade. Makes getting over c19 not quite as bad. Thanks from NH USA 🇺🇸!
It’s official Name is Government A1 Tartan, initially worn by the Black Watch Regiment then later adopted as the official tartan of the Royal Regiment of Scotland
Congratulations to all the people watching this march who chose to record the experience on their smartphones rather than applaud and show appreciation to these guys... If I myself were marching through a town I'd hope that everyone was just looking at their phones and not actually recognising our effort. That would make me so damn happy...I love to see people living their shitty lives through social media rather than reality. What in the name name of Christ is wrong with you people? You all deserve a thump in the head to wake up.....
Melissa saggers August is the best time to see the massed PIPES&DRUMS EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO..Summer highland games runs may to August, one of the biggest is the Cowal games. Enjoy BONNIE SCOTLAND 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Pipe bands come in all different sizes. There is something for everyone. Piping takes a lot of effort and is a huge time commitment, but learning how to play them is worth both the effort and the time. High level competition bands have become larger over the years, in order to produce the sound that they want. It is an enormous feat for them to be able to sound like one large bagpipe. The notes and embellishments must be executed at exactly the same time through a set of several tunes. It is a capricious instrument that requires constant maintenance, but is so rewarding to be able to play. You and Robert do have a point, though. The number of pipe bands and Highland Games have dwindled over the years, at least where I live. The piping community is a dedicated one, though, so while it might be going through a lean period, I doubt that its light will be extinguished. This is a lovely video!
The Royal Navy band do not come to edinburgh for the opening of the scottish parliament so would not be in this video.. Usually it is mainly scottish regiment bands playing
th-cam.com/video/W_L27sDuMos/w-d-xo.html may shed some light on events including the brief and vague reference [firsts] of the battles 1998 with the involvements of NATO alliance troops with injuries and deaths as well as the shots fired on the British Prime Minister and other internationally at the time.
I just watched a particularly dumb debate with an incredibly dishonest science denier. My brain is fritzing, and I desperately need a pick me up. Give me those dulcet tones of pipes & drums band! It's million times better than listening to pointless drone of an old grifter.
At a highland games across the pond, I was wondering how the highlands mustered against the English over and over and over. A Hamilton FD was lining up to go to the field to play. Oh, they sound good. I followed them to the arena. The bands up north were always very good.

Good one!!!
The "Ladies From Hell " indeed !

@Montythedug: …& you had forgotten to add here “…& also to make peace with their God!”
LOL We Irish invented the Bagpipes as a JOKE but the Scots haven't caught on YET!!! LMAO
Big thank you this great and Wonderful march video. I like very much. Finland friends. 🌅🕊🕊🕊❤🤚

Hobnails on pavement….with pipes and drums…..perfection.

Thank you. Love the pipes and that drum
I'm a South London boy but the bagpipes put a shiver down my spine great sound
J 'adore regarder et surtout écouter cette parade ça m'hypnotise et on voit que les Anglais sont fiers de leur coutumes, j'aimerais tellement aller visiter ce beau pays un jour !❤
I love the swagger with which the Scottish soldiers march. Gives off such an air of confidence
That's because we are confident in our abilities and we know how good we look in our no1s
Fantastic so proud to be Scottish
You are so good looking ,so good to listen to thanks. LK from Canada ❤❤😊
onya Jim!!!
fab, fab, fab 👍👌
emotive and heart stirring!
and I'm not even Scottish 😆
love the timing and music, and the wee Shetland pony!
😆👍👌
I'm ulster Scots and so proud of it.
The British do seem to stand on their traditions. Here in America it seems to be fire trucks that are always on parade.
A stirring sight and sound in a beautiful city. Much respect from south of the border.
Warms the cockles of my Scottish heart.
Great video, great sounds, great tunes ... sublime.
Well, Jim Ramsay you’ve done it again I walked tha
Pipe drums are the best sound ever! Loved my time as a pipe drummer!
💙🇺🇸❤️ ❤️🥰❤️ Thank You...❤️✌️
PIPE DRUMS IS IN OUR BLOOD,PIPE DRUMS IS CENTURIES OF LOVED FAMILY. Try NOT Listening for a week or So. Then Start Up PIPE DRUMS AND BE RENEWED LIKE NEVER BEFORE.NO SOUND COMES ANYWHERE CLOSE TO OUR PIPE DRUMS.GOD BLESS
never fails to put a smile on my face!!! thank you for sharing the video!!
Magnificent...Wild...But Useful...That's The Scots For Ye...
Astounding! Jim this is your best video yet! What would the British Army be without the Scots? The tunes are extraordinary. How about a playlist when you have the time!
That's funny...the first two bands played the same tune.
@@gtuneit Well as a Yank who knows nothing at all about British culture perhaps could YOU tell me the tunes (same or not) that Jim captured. It would be much appreciated. I have no shame in asking this but I was very impressed with such a uniquely British experience. I found it fabulous!
@@keithboseman9405 th-cam.com/video/V5Bi-SNgn3Q/w-d-xo.html
First tune is “Atholl Highlanders”… the second is “Steamboat.”
…then a small snatch of “Green Hills of Tyrol”
Mille pensés depuis la France. On vous aime!
Love the sound of those pipes.
amazing. intoxicating. beautiful. hope to see it in person soon
Beautiful and magical Álainn agus draiochtúil..
Another great offering ,thanks for sharing this with us all.
I never tire of watching this...tks Jim.
Thanks emstirling!
I walked that mile once so it has some strong memories for me. There were no pipers that day though. Thanks. LK. From Canada ❤❤❤😊
Incredible, what amount of noise a few people can make!😉😍
🇺🇸❤️ Simply..Wonderful..❤️
❤️🇺🇸💙 I am Scott and English...Really enjoyed watching...
Great to see the British army at its best
I could not have said it better Scott!
Top notch Jim!
Oh' Beautiful this Marc. Very🌅🎼🎼🕊🕊🕊
i remember being young an marching in parades in full dress military uniform.
I love the pipe and brass band sound!
That's the kind of bass drum I like -- getting smashed with a mallet like the guy's trying to split the drum head.
I love Scotland and I hope to visit it again! Several years ago I was at Paisley where a chemical facility owned by Ciba to learn how pigments were made
Incredible!!!
Nice vid. I sometimes wonder, as a musician myself who can't even read music, why the bagpipers don't need a sheet in front of their nose with the music on it, but some of the 'brass' players do.
Well historically there is no sheet music for the pipes its was handed down through the teachings a more skillful manner if you will
I was in a marching band and we memorized our music. I think musicians that cannot are phoning it in. I did it, so can they!
I used to play the bagpipe. Your fingers memorize it. You don't have to think about it.❤
Love it mate
What clan tartan is worn that is blue and green? Clan Graham of Montrose asking, it resembles ours. Great parade. Makes getting over c19 not quite as bad. Thanks from NH USA 🇺🇸!
That would be the black watch tartan worn by the soldiers, the pipers are wearing the royal Stewart or Cameron depending on the battalion.
It’s official Name is Government A1 Tartan, initially worn by the Black Watch Regiment then later adopted as the official tartan of the Royal Regiment of Scotland
Awesome

You are so freaking right!!!
You can’t even go to a concert, can’t see the band through the forest of phones.
Her majestic henchmen…
Wow. Going soon and can't wait. I wonder when this was filmed.
2018 for some of it
@@JimRamsayJWR I assume in August? I was surprised at the heavier jackets.
How often does this happen? Would love to see it when we visit last half of September 2023.
Edinburgh military tattoo Edinburgh Castle 🏰 you can look up the dates
Melissa saggers August is the best time to see
the massed PIPES&DRUMS EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO..Summer highland games runs may to August, one of the biggest is the Cowal games. Enjoy BONNIE SCOTLAND 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Love SCO ❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to see this.
Where are you from kind sir?
The US of A my friend.
Is it my imagination or are the pipe bands getting smaller and smaller.
Yes they are. Fewer boys and even few girls want to learn the pipes these days. Takes too much effort
Pipe bands come in all different sizes. There is something for everyone. Piping takes a lot of effort and is a huge time commitment, but learning how to play them is worth both the effort and the time. High level competition bands have become larger over the years, in order to produce the sound that they want. It is an enormous feat for them to be able to sound like one large bagpipe.

Trots volk en met recht.
With the UK withdrawal from HK they may have lost all this? Not seen in Sydney, Oz.
The UK left Hong Kong 27 years ago! What are you talking about! Are you crazy!
The theme tune would have been nice if they played "Imagine"
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The base drummer gives it wally cos all the pipers are fing deaf listening
Only musici why not seeing marching the Royal Navy
The Royal Navy band do not come to edinburgh for the opening of the scottish parliament so would not be in this video.. Usually it is mainly scottish regiment bands playing

So sad watching everyone recording it on their phones, I think it would ruin the experience for me.

If the Scottish Parliament decreed the a War with Scotland existed with other events, these battles may of ended that War.
