It's good to see the former senior drum major of the massed pipes and drums, Michael Hay😎

The Atholl Highlanders are the chaps with the very long rifles, the fellows with the fearsome spears are the Lonach Highlanders. They aren’t a private army. Despite the weaponry they are a Friendly Society from Aberdeenshire. The Band is a combined Band of the Atholl and the Lonach.

Thanks for the information. I wasn’t aware of their existence previously I have edited the video title and description to mention them.

Even in the most obscure parts of America you will find parades with bagpipes. Gotta be a cool feeling if you’re Scottish.

Absolutely amazing....from Italy....a nation who listen this never can be beaten

@ycul21 "A wonderful sight." Agreed, years ago I attended the Lonach Gathering at Strathdon, the Highlanders came into the field at the entrance and by the time they had all entered they were joined up with the front. traditionally they all called for a wee dram at every welcoming house on the march there.

Großartig!

[@claytonpascoe480]

I don’t understand the why. I just understand the beautiful music.

[@YxYzYx]

Pride, tradition, hermitage. Somethings lost on many folks today.

Scotland deserves to have be distinguished from the UK. Like maybe call the country "The United Kingdom and Scotland"

[@dannyconway7366]

Everyone of them probably unemployable in the real world, same tune all the time on repeat and repeat and repeat again, all a bit of a fancy dress show to be honest, should have stuck in at school 👎

[@kyle-zw2je]

What compels people to seek out a video like this only to comment nasty stuff?

[@kerrymolloy5912]

one persons comment of very little significance overall.just the type who spends hours gazing in his shaving mirror singing "how great i am".

[@dannyconway7366]

@@kyle-zw2je consider yourself corrected, no 'seeking' involved, for whatever reason it popped up as thing sometimes do on TH-cam, I watched it, and commented albeit maybe stating the obvious........left right boom boom left right boom boom left right boom boom. Good schooling would have maybe helped the poor souls🤷
