History:
This tune was written as a lament for Scots that were killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Although the original words are unknown, the melody was recorded in c. 1615-25 in the John Skene of Hay
yards Manuscript as "Flowres of the Forrest." Song of the Isles.
Dark Isle Piper Remarks:
This moment playing the Bagpipes in Glencoe was extraordinary. The Sun rays were dancing and giving the sense of joy and peace where there was once great tragedy. The way the pipes mournfully echoed in this Glen had a sense of remembrance. In memory of the terrible tragedy that occurred in this Glen back in 1692 on February 13th in the early morning hours between the MacDonald and Campbell Clans. I felt it was the perfect tune for the moment. Remembering the Fallen MacDonald Chief, 33 Men, 2 Women and 2 children.

Thanks bro I am ex army and this still makes me cry
Dear Dark Isle Piper, you have performed this most sublime piece so movingly and wonderfully.
My dear wife, Kathleen, a Scot, sadly passed away last year on St. Andrew's Day, 30th November, after several months of acute illness. We were married for 27 years and lived in Lancashire, England but it was always Kathleen's wish to return again to dwell in Scotland. I'm sad that I couldn't make that happen in her lifetime, but on her passing I had her repatriated for her funeral and burial in Alexandria, Dunbartonshire. I organised a piper to play a lament for her as I and my brothers in law carried her coffin into the family parish church, having chosen Flowers of The Forest after looking for a suitable piece while searching You Tube. It is here that I discovered your channel and your wonderful performance in such a fabulous setting. It has been nearly three months since Kathleen passed, but in that time I have listened to your piece over and over again, as I do your others. It reminds me of her identity as a Scot and I celebrate her in my memory of her even though I mourn. Hearing this played often brings me floods of tears but it brings me comfort to know that Kathleen rests in her beloved homeland in Scotland as she would have wished. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
As a Scots military veteran, Flowers of the forest the piper’s lament is our last post. Never fails to break my heart every time I hear it.
Anytime I ask a Scot to help me, he or she does. They know what is like to be crushed by a powerful enemy just like I do as a native American. This is a tear jerker
Im a Kiowa Indian, USA, yet i understand!
I know what your saying brother...thanks for your service 🏴🤜🏻🤛🏻🤙🏻
@@maxelldenomie6131hear you my brother. Love from a brother of teton hunkpapa from fort peck montana.
One of the most beautiful and moving pieces to honour a fallen member of the military. It hits your soul to the core. Thank you for this beautiful rendition!
In loving memory of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the first anniversary of her passing.
The pipes reach to the depths of the Celtic soul. We are the pipes, the pipes are us.
@Rad Derry exactly bro. The plaid and kilt wasn't ours either.
@Rad Derry exactly lol. History has been destroyed and vaguely re written.
I absolutely agree, greetings from Czechia, Bohemia.
Rad Derry the name of our country is the big topic now haha. So after this “crisis” you can visit Czechia! I thino you will find my country as the land of great people! And I have tip for you! Visit south Bohemian region, there are typical “czech bagpipes” so after the celtic ancestors!
i.e. In a "state of flow", being the optimum level of human behaviour ! :)
In all the world there is no instrument like the bagpipes. They send chills down my back and touches me in a way that I can't explain. I think there is some kind of magic going on in them.
I agree… it calls to the soul!
*Rebel Blood.*
🗡❤🏴
It's the drone note
Try wringing pipe tunes through an electric guitar if you're already a guitarist.
It's in your blood son. You are a wild creature, a beast
I absolutely adore the bag pipes. They stir the soul....
I come back only to weep again, because this reminds me that I am human. This music enables you to actually see down through the corridor of time, to see beautiful things, and very painful things too. It's not something that can easily be put into words, or described in language. It's utterly moving, and it tears you gently apart.
Wow, beautifully said!!
@@polytheneprentiss1534 Thank you. The bagpipe is one of my favorite instruments of all time. For me, musically speaking, it is the voice of Scotland.
@@malcolmlagares8245 the bag pipes didn't originate there. They came from North Africa.
@@supersurfer1 Just had to, didn't you, dickhead.
@@supersurfer1 I don't think that matters... they make it there own
If the pipes played over an open field does not touch you deep then you have no spirit.
bodge6886 Agreed. It’s undeniable!
What hunting loving sound to hear
If this doesn't touch your heart in some way, well, I feel sorry for you.
Not a tree in sight. Forest? Like the the Fens, cold, bleak and home, Hits the spot, Sliante!
i find it hard to get into the song when people say nasty things like that. makes me DISLIKE it actually.
In 1513 The Scottish army led by James 1V was crushingly defeated by the English army of Henry VIII. This tune commemorates the loss of the many young men slain on Flodden field. The Flowers of the forest are all wede awa. Nowadays this tune is traditionally played on Remembrance day and at military funerals. Lovely rendition.
Thanks @jimpomac for the history lesson! I have loved this tune from the first time I played it 30 years ago, but had no idea of the history. You have inspired me to do some more reading about that defeat....I have Scottish heritage, but I'm 5th generation Australian!
For England
@@michaelgoldman1433 🤣
For Alba!
@@michaelgoldman1433 Fuck England
I plan to have this played at my Mums funeral in the next few days,I'm overwhelmed by grief just listening to this,and thats before the final farewell takes place...such a beautiful haunting lament 😢💔
I hope that this tune brought you healing🙏🏻💗 I’m so sorry for your loss.
We played this at mums funeral,so many tears and so much pride,we are scots
🏴❤🗡
My sister has just passed I will play this to ..I'm so sorry for ur loss
Remember seeing my first piper, when I was about 8 or 9 and me late Dad was up in Scotland with the foresters and he said to Mum, why don't you come with the kids, so he took the cases and we went on the coach and spent 3 weeks there.
I never wanted to come back. When I heard the Pipe and drums, from that day, was hooked. R.I.P Dad/Mum for such a good memory.
This is such a beautiful moment! Thank you for sharing it with me.💕🙏🏻💗
I'm from Botswana and i love Scottish bagpipes so much. This song gives me unending peace and hope that things will be okay ....
I'm from South Africa. I get the same feeling my neighbour.
❤ Whow
I'm from Houston, Texas. As some of my fellow Texans would say Give 'em hell Botswana,..and of course remember the Alamo!!??
@@thedroidishi dont think many people know that Scotland is the only country mentioned at the battle of the Alamo memorial
As an old piper, I must commend your mastery of the instrument, and more importantly, the soul that you inject into your playing. Well done!
The McGregor stamp of approval, solid...
Thank you Ken… I’m always filled with joy when I pick up and play my pipes. I’m glad you feel the spirit of them.. they heal my soul.
My brother was a fine piper. His best friend played this tune at the close of his funeral. I can't hear it without tearing up.
"In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below..." A moving rendition, thank you for sharing.
This is not Flanders Fields,two compleately different songs,Mate
Two completely different songs,Mate.Flowers of The Forest was written by John Skene in 1513 to commemerate the Scottish loss in The Battle Of Flodden.In flanders Fields was written in 1915 to commemerate the WW1(Great War)dead.It was written by Lieutenant John McCrae.
@@norahollin1921 Never said it was anonymous internet entity that presumptuously thought to add an unnecessary comment
@@lubeman62 Don’t worry, the majority of folk will understand your valid reference and sentiments.
And the know it all commenter got John McCrae’s rank wrong, he was a Lieutenant Colonel.
Ian
We will remember them.
Honestly one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard
🙏🏻💗 Thank you!
Für mich das schönste Schottische Lied.Einfach toll.Lang lebe Schottland.🏴🏴🏴.Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
This tune captures my heart and soul hearing beautiful tune for honoring the fallen soldiers
Played at the funeral of HRH Duke of Edinburgh. Beautiful moment
God bless him. A war hero of the Greatest Generation.
Is also played at the Menin Gate (that commemerates 10s of thousands of war heroes still lying in Flanders Fields) and Armistice ceremonies. My father was also a 'war hero' serving 14 years in the RN, 5 of which during WW2.
@Taipan Tails a complicated man. I don't agree with everything he said. He reminds me a lot of my father, God rest him.
De mortuis nihil nisi bonum .
Of course god bless HRH Prince Philips
@@deanklous sorry. I dropped out of training school.
I am a Texas woman with a fiercely Celtic soul. The pipes stir me like nothing else. Incredible. 💖💖💖💖
I played this beautiful tune at my father’s graveside. I struggled to finish it, I was fighting hard to control my grief with a lump in my throat.
My bagpipes were played at the Somme by an Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders piper and I would like to play this tune there. It’s on my bucket list.
I agree with your comments. This tune is an "industrial strength tear jerker"..!!
Your pipes hold such powerful history. They will one day sing in the glen my friend. Thank you for sharing your dream.
Jazz... that's a heavy hitting post you've written, it's been a long time since I've read anything quite that touching.
Please go to the Somme, fella, get there whatever you do and play. There's many a good laddie of ours still laying in the ground there, and they're worth playing for...
and I hope your dear old dad is resting well.
My warmest regards to you.
cuhurun
Thankyou so much for your kind words. Before I go, I’ll be taking my pipes to the college of piping in Glasgow, to have someone get them in tip top playing order with easy reeds because I’ve not got the puff I once had. They are R.G.Laurie’s made around 1900 and sound superb when tuned. They deserve the very best I can do in their memory.
@@jazzman1626 I'm just amazed you have pipes played that long ago, and during such a time and place as the Somme battlefield... it's just staggering !
I do my best to get a tune out of an old (but not as old as your pipes) chanter my grandad gave me, but have never had the lung capacity to really play, let alone get a set of pipes humming. Reckon I'll forever have to rest in the knowledge there are always good pipers out there whose skills I can sit back and enjoy. Also, makes me a bit sad to think the Argyles and Southerns were disbanded back around 2006, makes those pipes of yours even more precious.
I really do hope you make it to France and play. Perhaps oneday, when you return you might add a message to this thread, just to let us folks know. Perhaps even better, if you could video the event and post it here on youtube, that would really be a sight to behold.
Cheers !
Every time I listen to this song it makes me rethink my entire life.
I hope it inspires!🙌🏻🙏🏻
My mum was a very proud Aberdonian, when I listen to this I have tears in my eyes, my god do I miss her and my dad, who was English, till we meet again mum and dad, all my love
cool,you are a mix of peoples,just like me.
My mum was welsh met my dad in Bedfordshire army we are all welsh our grannie came from ireland but we all lived in southampton untill my children married scots moved to scotland as did I but now giong to move to N.ireland what a mix
this music is not for ears, its for soul. Thanks and a huge like from me.
I cannot explain why, when I hear a lament played on the pipes, it breaks my heart.
I was born a Yorkshire woman and I am proud of that, but learned only recently that I have some deep family roots in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (WoooHoooo!) so maybe that is an explanation. I get such a visceral wave of sadness as soon the pipes begin and always have. It could just be very skilful playing by the musicians of course.
I love Scotland anyway. 😊
@@wolfthequarrelsome504 sorry for my bad English. I don't know the whole story about this music, but anyway it is not easy to listen it( I feel a huge pain in it ,therefore I said not for ears). Could you please explain about what this music is? Thanks and all the best.
i agree this from the soul and for the soul I think it will southe the savage beast
@@Boudicca165 I'm jealous I've never been to Scotland but I have Scottish heritage (clan Fraser of lovat). From all the pictures I've seen of the scenery it's beautiful.
Your right🤩😍😘
I'm an American with most of my DNA coming from England, Ireland and Scotland before 1700. Something deep in me hears that song and feels the need to come back home after over 300 years of roaming. A home sickness from generations long gone. We here in Appalachia kept much of the music and traditions alive passed down from generations.before.
Generally speaking Appalachian people are more of Ulster Protestant/Lowland Scots heritage, which was more of a culture rooted in the Anglosphere, rather than the Gaelic cultural sphere of Ireland and the Highlands where piping music is associated with, but appreciation for good music isn't limited to your DNA.
@@user-ys5yv2nz6w as an Appalachian with more than 87 percent UK heritage (The rest comes from Scandinavia and Finland) we remained Protestant ulster peoples.
There is not a single other musical instrument that can convey mournful and uplifting at the same time. If bagpipes don't bring a tear to your eyes there is something dreadfully wrong with you. I am a 5th generation Scot. My great, great grandfather coming here from Scotland around 1820 or so. Scot roots run deep.
I heard my Dad playing this. I asked him why. He said it was special. I did some digging and then he filled me in. I cannot express how much it meant when it was played at his funeral. The melody haunts and comforts at the same time.
I'm from Northern Ireland.. I have Scottish blood.. I have lived in Fife Edinburgh and Glasgow... What a beautiful heavenly piper you are... This rendition brought me to tears of joy and sadness... Thank you so much x
Thank you for this🙏🏻💗 These messages fill my soul with joy!
Tel me a more sad, lament.
If THIS does not touch your soul, you HAVE no soul! Thank You Lady for sharing your gift with us!
Thank you for listening and feeling the intent and love that is put into this tune.🙏🏻💞
This touches me deep in my soul .... Scotts the brave
The pipes must be what angels are playing as we enter heaven.
I'm Scottish. Through many generations. Nothing stirs me more than the "pipes". I think it's in the blood, DNA.
Jimmy Reid definitely in the blood! And if DNA has memory, then it all makes sense why we feel the way we do when the pipes play.
@@DarkIsleBagpiper I am convinced!
As it is in our Irish blood!
Ya can tak thu man fae Scotland, but ya cannae tak Scotland fae thu man! ❤️ [X]
I'm Cornish by birth and Irish by blood, and as much as I love music in general, nothing hits home quite like the sound of bagpipes. For us Celts, we are the pipes and the pipes are us. Blessed be friend
Stunning. I started crying out of nostalgia, and I'm not even Scottish, I'm just a redhead from Poland. God bless Scotland, the most beautiful country in the world.
YES WE ARE
You know, Poland also has their own national bagpipes. You should check it out.
I am also polish....but I love....oh boy. ..I love Scotland with all my heart...This is lovely country and very hospitable.
God bless this country.
We are all connected.💗💕💗
same here in Germany^^ since i was a child its overwhelming if i hear bagpipes i think in a former life we all was scotts^^
There are two musical instruments that ALWAYS touch my emotions - the violin, and the bagpipes.
The Flowers of the Forest .. if the ethereal beauty of the bagpipes does not touch your soul .. then .. my friend .. perhaps you have no soul.. way beyond beautiful this is ..
Thank you ., gum beannaiche dah Dia thu ..💔⚘

Me llamo mucho la atencion su comentario...
Well done John, god bless ye !
South America has many people of British descent,such a shame that i have not one drop of Scottish blood,only am related to them because I'm mostly Iberian
John Gray here, 4 people replyed to my text. Thank you all, Maximiliano, you say youve no Scottish blood, makes no difference. When this terrible time is finally over. Try to visit Scotland if possible, you' ll experience real hospitality. Mostly nice helpful people, you won' t regret it. The pipe music you listened to, Flowers o' the forrest. In memory of the dead of " Colloden" god bless.❤❤❤
This is beyond words. Sad; wistful; melancholy. The very definition of hiraeth... Thank you dark isle piper. Great to see women playing the pipes!!
Thank you for watching!🙏🏻👍🏼
@@DarkIsleBagpiper I love your instrument?
What is it about this instrument that stirs up such emotion in me and so many others?? 💓🏴
They make me cry every time❤
The sound and vibration of eternal connection is what I believe you feel. 💕
Best ever flower of the forest I have ever heard. Beautiful.
My God! That is so beautiful. The bagpipe brings me to tears. This is a small piece of the soul of Scotland.
I love when music has the power to touch the soul and unite us all. Reminding us who we are.
@@DarkIsleBagpiper I wrote a poem this morning about this video. I'm thinking of giving the title of Tress at Glencoe. It's a good poem. Who's clan colors are you wearing ? I titled it as Ode To Tress at Glencoe.
''Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly
,
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.''
I know the song, much loved.
Come sit down on by my grave side....
As the sun beats down on the green fields of France
There's a soft summer breeze makes the red poppies dance
Beautiful lyric
i am from Singapore and visit Edinburgh and it museums and notice that Scotland have a very proud soldiers traditions - salute to them
My Mum,sisters and me lost our Precious and Brave Husband and Dad in September,He climbed these very mountains many times and also most of her other beautiful mountains too.We will miss you forever our Scottish Hero.You rest easy,till we meet again.🏴❤️
🙏🏻💕 Sending you love and prayers.
What a beautiful rendition. It brings back memories of hearing Flowers of the Forest after playing the Last Post on Remembrance Sunday.
Just saw/heard this on TV moments ago with the death of the Queen. Had to find it in here again, left me with quite a bit of teary eyes. Always loved this tune...... RIP Queen.
My son in law tragically died in street by his house this 1 piper traveled from scotland to play this and flowers of scotland all way from house over his outline of his body to church.it was beautiful as his children walked in 5.10 and 15 they froze as they got to the outline so piper played on covering thier sobs.but he did craig mitchel proud on that day.he waited until after service and played again to the burial we never knew his adress but we all thanked him so much.craig would have been so proud
I grew up in the Chicago area and had a friend whose parents were from Scotland. They would spend the summers in Glasgow and Aberfeldy. I went along with them when I was 16. My friend and I purchased a Brit Rail Pass and traveled to Stonehenge to Wick and everywhere in between. I was awestruck by the experience. Scotland imparted in me this magical feeling that has stayed with me into my 50’s. Hearing your music and seeing the raw beauty of the landscape intensifies that feeling and puts me in a “Happy Place”. Great job and your talent is Greatly Appreciated.
You've made my spirit fly away from the mess here in Syria to be in the open beautiful fields, it's a nice and soul touching music. Thank you.......
Salar Al Mehmed it’s an honor and pleasure! This world is a mess right now. We all need these moments to be truly free. Stay hopeful my friend!

To the memory of HM Queen Elizabeth II, war-time soldier and loyal public servant.
Elizabeth passed on in Scotland, and this sacred lament is most fitting.
It turned out that this was exactly the lament that was played at the funeral, both at Westminster and Windsor.
@@evangelene12 As it was for Prince Philip, another who had served in uniform and who had departed from us.
@@evangelene12 I was about to say the same thing. By God, when the pipes played the tears flowed.
The pipes were so incredibly poignant and brought a tear to my eye
💙
Breathtaking music. I heard this on rememberence day 😢
My great-grandfather fought in WWI and was a stretcher bearer in Gallipoli and Palestine. They played this at his funeral in 1969. RIP JAMES
A good friend (and AMAZING Piper) played this as myself, my younger brother and both my brother-in-laws carried my wife into a crematorium yesterday.
I could barely hold it together when listening before. Now, I CANNOT listen to this tune without crying.
Truly beautiful music
Stay strong out there.
AlbaWolf88 sorry for your loss my freind
Yes, please stay strong. I’m so sorry and I know and understand grief. This tune fills some of the spaces of my heart that has been broken from loss. May God bless you and keep you during this time and know you are not alone. 💗
Hauntingly beautiful and fitting it was played at QE's funeral. It had me in tears. ❤️
Every time.... once a month..... and it shivers my spine. Amazing tune!!

@JaffaCakes2019 Yes, most of us have a history on this. My Granddad was wounded in action France 4-10-17. Spent the rest or his life working as a meter reader because of it and playing gigs to supplement income. He could hear a tune on the radio and then just play it on his piano note perfect. Died when I was 7. He was clearly traumatized by the war & would never talk about it. Back in the day, there were loads of war propaganda movies on TV and this was a major theme of our play. Granddad was very upset by this. My personal view is that wealth is not built by ones own effort but by theft. War is simply one of the tools for theft. It's just evil! I was ready to become an anonymous itinerant rather than answer the call to Vietnam. Fortunately conscription ended just before that became necessary.
This tune shakes and stirs the soul like none other. Masterfully played!
Stand up & feel proud of yerself Scotland!!
Most beautiful country in the world.
The most beautiful tune, haunting, brings tears to my eyes, huge like
oh how homsick i feel listning to this a wonderful playing of a soul lifting music,thank you.❤❤❤👌
Listening to this, it made me think away from the chaos in my country. This is beautiful.

My father joined a pipe band as a tenor drummer, oldest brother the bass drum and older brother was the piper.. I was the snare drummer in the family. In 1966 my father passed away and his best friend, a piper played Flowers of the Forest’ graveside. I was 12 and this song is forever in my heart. Later we learned our family hailed from Co. Monaghan in Ireland. I am now just composing a lament to be played at my funeral (whenever that should be) on uilleann pipes to honour our family and and ancestors. Thank you DarkIslePiper for such an inspiring performance ❤
One of the most beautiful songs played on bagpipes. Never fails to give me goosebumps and it was played perfectly on this video
The one bagpipe tune that makes me extra emotional. In Glencoe, too.
Joe Ninety it was breath taking to play this tune at Glencoe.
@@DarkIsleBagpiper Obviously Glencoe has a special meaning for me. My mother was in Northumberland when I was born, and of course Flodden is in Northumberland too. I think it would be something special for you to play it at Flodden Field. There was a footpath access to the top of the hill the last time I was there.
This video, music, sound and tune has just made me cry. I believe it is my Soul. Thank you, Dark Isle Piper.
Thank you for sharing that with me!
@@DarkIsleBagpiper It is amazing to look to the year ago, as I would have sat here listening and watching to the tune. Lovely to hear from you. Bravo!
Utterly beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes
Ranked Top 3 in the world in Highland dancing at the age of 12, dancing in a command performance for the Queen at the age of 15, student of the legendary piper Harry L from Edmonton. The pipes have played a big part in my younger years and now past my prime, I get to listen to them again. Blessings Lassie, you have earned a place in my heart.
💗💫 I’m so glad these bring you to happy moments in your life!
God bless Scotland . beautiful music to relax and enjoy the beauty of Glencoe.

There is something truly magical about the sound of bagpipes. Black Bear was played by a lone piper at my uncle's funeral service. It was truly wonderful. Greetings from Australia.
I walked down the aisle to this. It still makes every fibre of my being, feel alive.
Absolutely majestic.You play the pipes beautifully.Such a fantastic Scottish tune on the bagpipes and such a beautiful place.You make me so proud to be Scottish.🏴
I can only imagine how peaceful that day was for them. Its beautiful
I traveled to Scotland for the first time in2018 and what a experience it was the food ,music ,people the land and history truly a wonderful place
@Dark Isle Piper, we laid my late Father to rest with your music sending him off. The emotions are still extremely raw, but couldn't think of a more appropriate and beautiful piece of music to pay homage to the man that meant the world to me in my life. Thank you xxx
I am honored… beyond honored, that you would choose to play this for your Fathers memorial service. I have no doubt he heard it and felt the power of love. Sending you love and peace with healing.🙏🏻💗
This Awesome. The scenery is Absolutely Amazing. The Young Lady is fantastic.
Bagpipes are a very underrated instrument
not really millions love the instrument in edinburgh city centre there is pipers playing every week
@@brian8861 you didn’t have to disagree with and then correct Custodian Achilius. A person with class and good education wouldn’t have done that. Obviously you are not a true Scotsman.
@@prepperjonpnw6482 Hello Jon im very sorry you feel that way but education and class doesnt really define a person also go look up the definition of Scotsman before commenting and making yourself look silly.
@@prepperjonpnw6482 also please dont gatekeep being "a true Scotman" as you arent even from the country.
This is an outstanding version and rendition of this most sacred piece of music from 1513. It has the respectful timbre required for bereavement and funerals. There is no better version on TH-cam than this. As a former member of (New Scotland Yard's) the London Metropolitan Police Force's New-Style Cadet Corps I propose to use this piece where our small and rare membership gradually begins to pass away. Scotland Yard and New Scotland Yard themselves were central in earlier diplomatic relations between England and Scotland. Our late and beloved Drill Sergeant George Pether, B.E.M., used the Pipes and Drums in much of our training and ceremonial music - fitting given that Great Britain was formed through King James 6th of Scotland inviting the kingdoms to unite, and choosing London as its capital city. In our police ranks were many proud Scots, English, Welsh and some Irish. Thank you for this wonderful rendition and for the equally fitting and majestic video of a lone piper. In the grateful Gaelic tongue of my own Manx nation: "Gura mie ayd!"
It's "yindyssagh" to see someone who speaks any manx at all. Gura mie ayd indeed!
Raised in Kinlochleven by Glencoe 💙 Amazing rendition!! Incredibly haunting tune! Thank you 🙏💙❤️🏴✌️😎
Such a sad lament, beautifully played by a piper with real heart and feeling. Thank you so much.
There's something that happenes when you listen to this instrument, you forget you are in your room and start to navigate with your mind untill the song is over and you come back to reality
Or maybe it's just me who knows
I dont think there is a tune anywhere that cuts me down like this one, to my heart, to my soul and where my roots stream from, Thank you so much for bringing me home .
Thank you lass! Living here in Spain your music keeps me grounded and close to my roots 😎
From a Texan-Scots: thanks for posting.
I cried hearing this on the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II, what a moving melody
Absolutely beautiful
I love the pipes played anywhere everywhere it's just something about them I cant describe
This was incredible to listen to. I'm near crying. So much emotion. And beautiful setting!!! Faugh a ballagh. From Ireland

This played at my Da's funeral we lost him on the 25th of September 2013. I love the tune but it's hard sometimes to listen to it. I know he's right next to me when I play it I can feel him.
My favorite!! I close my eyes while listening and just cry because I hear the Lord speaking in this beautiful song, calling out for His people. Absolutely amazing! God Bless
