...and I am very proud to say that my wife, Drum Major Colleen McMillin Wilson, was given the honor to lead the Tattoo Pipes & Drums this evening on the march down the Royal Mile. Major Brooks Carleton Wilson, United States Marine Corps (Retired). Oooraaaaaah!!!
You must be so proud, first thing I noticed as they came out that a woman was leading! Great to see. And many of my friends were there playing behind her!
Of course they do, who doesn’t get chills and a lump in their throat when you hear them coming and all that fabulous regalia and accoutrements. Just fabulous.
Really? Are you sure? I TRIED to enjoy the pipes hut they were fighting to be heard over a band of Spaniards playing Tequila. Scotland is now a spanish colony? Wow times have changed.
@syoung1908 hi there yea different tartan represents clans and names here in Scotland and different regiments also of our military before it was changed to the Royal regiment of Scotland which obviously is now one colour we had like the black watch or royal Highland or kings own Scottish Borders so before the change to now just the Royal regiment of Scotland there were many different tartans in our military but there are i think hundreds of tartans representing family names here in Scotland and clans i not sure how many but its a lot hope this helps you understand the reasons behind all the different colours 🏴
@syoung1908 there is lots of history attached to the wearing of the tartan it was banned by the English back in the days they tryed to take our identity but we knew that would never happen 😉 🏴
Some made me smile and even laugh with joy but the beautiful pipes and drums took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for posting. 🎉
I love the sound of the bag pipes. I ALWAYS cry when i hear them. The drone goes straight to my heart and i feel soo proud to be Scottish. My late papa was nearly blind and profoundly deaf near the end of his life, because he worked in Fairfield Ship Yard ,Govan, man and boy. The tremendous noise made him deaf. But when he heard the sound if the pipes, I swear he puffed up with such pride. The pipes have held many good memories for me.🏴🏴💟
Of course the best part of the show are the pipes and drums anytime and with so many young talented pipers and drummers they could do a whole show with them and the wonderful young dancers thank you for posting
My heart stirs whenever i hear the pipes and drums...i can enjoy an orchestra, can even enjoy a Mexican mariachi band (for a short while), but the pipes, the pipes and drums...if ye dinna understand, ye aint Scots!
I was in Edinburgh Scotland in 1979 in the US Navy. We pulled into the Port nearby. I visited Edinburgh Castle. I traveled to Falkirk by train. At the time I didn't know it was where the famous battle took place. On the train going through the countryside it was the greenest grass I've ever seen in my life. I loved the country and the people, it was beautiful. I've been fond of the bagpipes ever since. (Edit) whoever filmed this and posted this thank you. It's awesome.
The entire entourage of the various groups marching and playing their instruments was very well done and fun to watch and listen to. However, as a Canadian and with my Scottish heritage, the pipes put a lump in my throat and they give me goose bumps, simply beautiful. 🙏🇨🇦
I had The privilege of living in Edinburgh for 10 years, it’s the most beautiful city in the world and countryside around it. It’s fantastic and a beautiful little beach as you can visit it’s stunning
For me the pipes and drums always steal the show. It’s a beautiful thing to see all the different ethnic groups marching on those cobblestone streets that are hundreds of years old.😊
Goosebumps all over,ive bin once in scotland and i never forget the highlands and the big pipes, scotland stole my heart...thanks from the netherlands 🏴💖🇳🇱
The entire kilted marching band stole the show, best for last. Very skilled! They were so crisp and clean in unison. Drummers were impressive! Nobody plays tenors over there? The clear pipes were heard long before they came into sight. Thank you! ❤
Once heard 100 pipes playing "Amazing Grace" @ a Scottish games event. It reverberated through the ground & literally made me cry it was SO beautiful !!

Sorry to hear that you went down. I hope the beating the public gave you wasn't too severe. Look at the bright side. When your pipes are stomped on, they never lose their tune!
I marched in an American Para-Military Pipe Band for 25 yrs with some of Scotland/Canada's best military bands in the world... Proudest & best moments in my life.
Well one thing's for certain..... The Germans sure didn't like facing "THE LADIES FROM HELL" AND TARGETED THEIR PIPERS (BLACK WATCH) HAE AT YE THE GLORIOUS SEVEN!
The pipers always steal the show. My dad is Scottish and I have his side of the family that lives in Scotland. Always a joy to come up from England and visit them. I love whisky so much so you can imagine what I get up to when I’m up there 😂. That’s must be my dad’s side in me.
Hi again. The 2022 Tattoo is my absolute favorite! I didn’t know what a Tattoo was but found it by research. The Swiss Top Secret, “Walking on the Waves,” the Grant Brothers from the 4th Battalion Highlanders and all the pipes and drums! Fantastic! I bought my 1st practice chanter then and have been taking piping lessons ever since! Thank you so much for posting this!
I am/was a bandsmen, for the preteen to late twenties I was in parades many many times. So I have a pride for the band,,, however pipes and drums will steal the show every time. If they don't raise the hair on your neck and arms, well, there is something wrong with you!

The pipes didn’t “steal” the show, they are the show.
Some people can't stand the sound of the pipes. To me, they sing directly to my blood.
I was going to say " the pipes always steal the show" but your comment is more accurate.
Hear Hear!!
YES!
Correct, they are only decent thing in the show.
...and I am very proud to say that my wife, Drum Major Colleen McMillin Wilson, was given the honor to lead the Tattoo Pipes & Drums this evening on the march down the Royal Mile. Major Brooks Carleton Wilson, United States Marine Corps (Retired). Oooraaaaaah!!!
I saw her. Brilliant! From an old Scot now a Tennesssean.
You must be so proud, first thing I noticed as they came out that a woman was leading! Great to see. And many of my friends were there playing behind her!
Nobody gives a shit,dumbfuck.
Grand on you, Lad! A proud moment for ya!
Proud you should be
As an old English guy, may I say that nothing stirs my soul more than the sight and sound of the pipes and drums.
Yep. Me too.
As an old English lady...me too.
Of course they do, who doesn’t get chills and a lump in their throat when you hear them coming and all that fabulous regalia and accoutrements. Just fabulous.
It makes you feel your roots.
The Mexicans are better 😁
@@Xonid1 not root, but I love to watch you guys ever since I visited in 2006
Bagpipes make the most horrible noise I have ever endured. They should be illegal because of it.
@@DavidMitchell-qx9nenot as bad as Mick Mcarthy
Stole the show? This is Edinburgh, it was ALWAYS their show.
Really? Are you sure? I TRIED to enjoy the pipes hut they were fighting to be heard over a band of Spaniards playing Tequila. Scotland is now a spanish colony? Wow times have changed.
@@queenbee3647I’m sure!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
@@queenbee3647 Right, I thought everyone was awesome there, not just the pipes.
You cant hear our pipes and drums and not be proud to be Scottish. Onwards the brave 🏴🏴
I am wondering about the different color uniforms. Is there significance behind the different tartan patterns? Asking from US.
@syoung1908 hi there yea different tartan represents clans and names here in Scotland and different regiments also of our military before it was changed to the Royal regiment of Scotland which obviously is now one colour we had like the black watch or royal Highland or kings own Scottish Borders so before the change to now just the Royal regiment of Scotland there were many different tartans in our military but there are i think hundreds of tartans representing family names here in Scotland and clans i not sure how many but its a lot hope this helps you understand the reasons behind all the different colours 🏴
@@johnmulligan7853 I found a website for looking up specific tartans. I find it interesting.

I'm English and love the pipes xx
As an American, listening to that brings me to tears. How proud you must be.
Dear Africa, India, Middle East, this is what proper culture looks like!
I don't know why, but the bag pipes brought a tear to my eye. Thanks!!!
Scotland The Brave
Pipes and drums - so much Tradition, Order, Energy and Power - greatest Performance! Thx From Germany 🏴 🇩🇪

My German husband gets goosebumps when the combined Pipe Bands play. I as a Scot cry. Miss my country.

Just an FYI, bagpipes come from mesopotamia
Me too bless brings a tear
@jakejacobs4463 Yes they have roots there. However this is The Great Highland Bagpipe which is a totally different Bagpipe.
@@dougal2386 you mean how coronets are way different that trumpers

The Lone Piper got me at a tattoo. Up on a roof at the end of the show.
Soooo spine chilling, I was in tears.

Bagpipes always steal the show. Especially when they echo down the streets in Edinburgh.
My Scottish husband aged them
