Jim you must be one of the fittest men in all of Scotland. You never fail to keep pace with the bands that you video for us to enjoy and the music is always crisp and clear. It beats me how you can keep a watchful eye on the procession and at the same time run up (or down) the footpath without colliding with onlookers. Keep up the good work - I’m sure it is very much appreciated by all.
I very much doubt that I'm fit. Good microphone is key - Rode never lets me down! I watch the cobbles here to be honest and point the camera in the direction of the band. Thanks for your comment and keep watching! Much more to come!
One of my great grandads was a color-sergeant in the Seaforths. He served in Afghanistan in 1878 and served with Lord Roberts. He marched from Kabul to Kandahar to help raise the siege of Kandahar. He made it and married, returned to Scotland where my grandmother was born in 1888. What a grand video! Cabar Feidh forever!
although the actual Seaforth Highlanders were raised at Brahan..1881 i think...then mashed together with the Camerons in 1981...to become the queens own.
@@kevmacleod7006 it was February 7th 1961 that the Seaforth Highlanders and the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders was amalgamated to form the 1st Bn Queens Own Highlanders (Seaforth & Cameron). I was privileged to have enlisted in the Regiment in April 1961. The best years of my life. Sadly a further amalgamation with another fine Highland Regiment, the Gordon Highlanders occurred September 1994.
@@RidseardMhicCoinnich Apologies Richard, I waded in without checking my facts. Does anybody have a connection with the Seaforth Highlanders in Ross-shire?
@@kevmacleod7006If you contact the Secretary, Q.O.Highlander Regimental Assc, Cameron Barracks, Inverness IV2 3XE. He will furnish you with the relevant information you require. There are Seaforth Highlander Branch Associations still operating, I think three in all, Wick, Elgin and Nottingham (Notts). But come under the HQ Q.O.Hldrs at Cameron Barracks. The Museum at Fort George may also may offer information and advice you require. Hope this info helps.
Thank you so much Jim. Regards from Dinxperlo in the Achterhoek Netherlands. The 51st Highland Division Liberated our village Dinxperlo on the 30th of March 1945.
My father was there. He was a combat sapper in the Division. He fought from Africa, Scilly, Normandy and up into Germany. He lifted mines ahead of the infantry at El Alamein. When the Jocks went in the bagpipes where playing right along the line
@@johnhutchison2268 Ref :. your comment - " He fought from Africa, Scilly, Normandy and up into Germany." - that's the reward the 51 st. got for impressing Montgomery so much! - Say what you want about his personality, but he knew class when he saw it !
You know me Jim I never can get enough of the pipes ( oh and thank you for sending the Scottish rain to us received it last night) have a great day Jim
Thank you for sharing your great love and passion for the Pipes and Drums. When it’s your heritage is more than music. What is the history of this song? The Black Watch pipers are legendary in WWI, the Germans even have a Piper Medal also. And a wee bit on what you know about this would be appreciated. Many Scots here in the Carolina’s Take care my friend. Cheers
What a special time for the tattoo and through the the two exits off the esplanade and down the royal mile and then back to the barracks to get to there beds for the rest of the night with the tattoo team that was really nice to see the drums and the pipes in the tattoo and the drums are the best
DM C Marr was by far the smartest and sharpest, closely followed by DM R Grant. His brother PM P Grant was the Piper at the Duke of Edinburghs Funeral.
Did you ever see anything so ridiculous ... their kilts are so long they couldn't run a hundred yards in the heather without falling over and their sporrans are so big and heavy they couldn't carry a rifle/sword at the same time. The pipes, and the tartan, are great but the "get-up" is ridiculous. Get Real!

Finest pipe tune ever imo. My father was in the 7th Seaforths 1939-46

AONAIBE RI CHEILE
One of my favourite tunes - well played
😊
Absolutely fantastic thank you Jim
Glad you enjoyed it

Marched to this tune many times as a Queens Own Highlander (Seaforth & Cameron) CFGB.
My dad served 22 years in The Queens own Highlanders, 1964-1986.
@@cosmo10973ify we would have served in Osnabruck, Berlin and Sharjah at the same time. I transferred in 1970 after nine years in the Regiment.
@@RidseardMhicCoinnich Yep he was in all those places. My mum has some great photos from his time in Sharjah.
@@cosmo10973ify that was a good tour, spent a lot of time out n about with B Coy. Still in touch with lots of the lads.

Great to see them at Sterling Castle, my favourite castle too!
Stirling! Sterling is a furniture store at Tillicoutry!
@@JimRamsayJWR Lol! I will blame spellcheck 😅
@@JimRamsayJWR Is it true that the castle is named after the founder of the SAS ? 😁
Thanks so much Jim! Great motion videography, and I love tune identification!
My favourite 4/4 played by my favourite Military pipe band.
Greetings from New England USA. MacDonald of Clan Ranald. Fantastic performance
Yes ...and Being an American... most likely Clan Chief ??
Hardly. A proud great great granddaughter of Alisdair MacDonald who settled Cape Breton Nova Scotia @@hughgeeraerts738
You know this is my favorite.
Wonderful tune. It pairs well with Balmoral IMHO!
I do indeed!
Trop bien waw 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Eric!
If I could have a dying wish, it would be to have the 4 Scots play Cabar Feidh for me while marching down from Ediburgh Castle.
I can barely walk and talk at the same time. These folks always pit me to shame with their talent. God bless them.
❤So schoen
This is what Scotland and England are made of Heritage is Everything ❤
My febarite tune
Same!
The stags head ❤️❤️😂
My Regiment 🏴
Sad to see the famous highland regiments reduced to much smaller units or totally eliminated. Finance trumps tradition every time.
Me gusta escuchar la gaita en las marchas militares
Un dia si Dios nus lo permite¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Where is Surgeons Hall?
Between her living room and dining room? what sort of question is that???
In Nicholson Street.
Well the old one drum major looks much more better than this current one to me

8 pipers in the second set.
❤😂
11 pipers?
No marching troops.😢
sound recording is bad

Might like to look at their battle honours before spouting such sh*te
