Nothing much more intimidating to instill fear in an enemy than hearing the shrill of bagpipes in the distance and knowing that the men following those pipes are going to inflict on you and your fellow soldiers levels of pain, suffering and death too frightening to comprehend.

Not 1 SCOTSMAN was ever shot for desertion of duty. Where as many Englishmen were.
Unfortunately YES! 57,470 brave men were sacrificed on 1st July 1916, at the Battle of the Somme. The man in charge was Field Marshal Douglas Haig, who's name is the head of the poppy appeal, and if that is not ironic I don't know what is. The man sent more people to death for nothing. The majority were Scots and Ulstermen that died or were wounded on that day.

Lay me down in the cold cold ground...The Highlanders look Awesome!
Some of my dreams is to visit Great Britain and see these awesome pipes and drums¡¡ you make my day sooo happy
Well done Gentlemen! I love the sound of bag-pipes!
Wouldn't mind them marching every day in my hometown!
The Pipes and Drums march every Saturday night in the summer in Kincardine Ontario.
That drum major has one hell of a good mustache!
That’s where they select them for.
Much love to Scotland from England, may our bond only grow stronger 🇬🇧❤️🏴
These are british soldiers, not scots. Scotland had no military.
@@rmac8378 no shizzle my guy, I never said anything about them being the Scottish army? And they are Scottish they’re just in the British army
@@battleguru1153 they’re half scottish at best. Maybe they’ll change their minds later but people of scottish national mind don’t join the british army
@@rmac8378 Who told you "people of scottish national mind don’t join the british army"? Cause it's bull, and disgraces the memories of so many brave lads who did just that, and paid with their lives.
@@scottishbombolini7794 i should’ve said most likely, but to be from Scotland and want to join the british army most likely means you’re of british national mind. How you feel after serving is a different matter. It’s not disgracing anyones memory to say they’re british
Groundskeeper Willy gives two thumbs up!
I am Spanishman and I love pipes and drums ♥️
Play LOUD, PLAY STRONG and NEVER STOP PLAYING THOSE PIPES. YA ALL GIVE ME STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE
LEST WE FORGET : WE REMEMBER AMEN ❤️
As a Sasanac with a Scottish granny from Elgin, I feel the pride ooze out. God bless you all
Very nice video of the re-opening of Ballater Station with a homely speech by the Provost of Aberdeenshire, and later visit by the Duchess of Rothesay in addition
That was slick, great P&D's💟👌💖
Now that is the way real music is done!
I'm Glasgow born so proud of them
I love watching this. Thank you!
Just makes me proud to see so many men after being overseas and come still back to honour our country. Not an easy road
To me nothing beats the infinite spirit of the mystical bagpipe.
Cool to me love the drumbs too from usa y'all rock
I absolutely Love this!! My feet won't keep still..
What a splendid fellow the Pipe Major is! If I was forty years young, I'd follow him anywhere!

Bravo!👏👏👏
Love it. THANKS for this upload
My Dad served in the 6th Battalion Kings Own Scottish Borderers during WW2 and loved every minute of it, he always said you could march for miles following the pipes thats where I have got my love of Scotland, the sound of the pipes and the Scots people from. My family get woken every Christmas morning to the sound of the Argyles on CD.
Argylls just saying
